Sox acquire Reliever from Diamondbacks

The Chicago White Sox traded minor league infielder Brandon Allen for right-handed reliever Tony Pena. 

Pena began the season as the Diamondback's best setup man and  finished the season 5-3 with a 4.24 ERA in 37 games. He was starting to struggle at the end of his time with the D-Backs, however he holds the franchise record for his 63 holds. 

Allen has spent time at both Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham. He was the White Sox's fifth round pick in 2004.
