Chien-Ming Wang to WAS; guaranteed $2M + incentives

[TooLiveBrew]

per a Pete Abraham tweet (former Yankees beat writer, now covering the BoSox)

Chien-Ming Wang has decided on Nationals. Deal close to being completed. He could be in rotation by May.

The Nationals have been very active this off season. Their pitching rotation could be good this season. They need some fliers like Wang to work out though.

I think the Yankees' Wang will perform much better in DC. He took quite a pounding in New York.

Boo........

 

Seriously tho, i wish the brewers could have gotten him for a minor league deal. I think he can still turn it around.

This has been refuted somewhat, but I'll still take Abraham's word on it. He was great in terms of covering the Yankees & providing info, and as Chad Jennings -- Abraham's replacement for the Lohud Yankees Blog & beat -- put it,

Our old friend, and good friend, Pete Abraham reported this morning that Wang had already decided on the Nationals, and frankly, Pete is pretty well sourced in Wang’s camp.

Per Ken Davidoff of Newsday

Word in DC is that Nats will guarantee Wang 2 million, and he can more than double that in incentives. Good job, @PeteAbe.
