February 3, 2010 The Nationals have apparently emerged as a potential suitor for Chien-Ming Wang, according to MLB.com's William Ladson. Our View:The Nationals join the Dodgers, Mets and Cardinals as teams known to be monitoring Wang, who's regarded as one of the top free agent pitchers still on the market. Expect him to land a deal before long. |
|
February 1, 2010 The Dodgers watched Chien-Ming Wang throw off flat ground last week, and feel that he is at least three months away from being fully healthy, according to MLB.com. Our View:Wang is trying to bounce back from a surgically-repaired right shoulder, and teams may hold back on offering him a deal before he gets closer to 100 percent, and proves to be an effective hurler again. The Mets, Cardinals and Dodgers are among the teams believed to have the former 19-game winner on their radar. |
|
January 31, 2010 Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated reports that Chien-Ming Wang will end up on one of the "coasts" in 2010. Our View:He said he didn't know "why that is," but if he reports it, it's usually true. Maybe the Mets will be able to land him after all. Stay tuned. |
|
January 30, 2010 The Mets' latest free agent target is said to be former Yankees hurler Chien-Ming Wang, according to the New York Post. Our View:In other words, the next to spurn the Amazins will be Chien-Ming Wang. Coming off of elbow surgery, Wang is not expected to be ready to pitch until May. The competition for his services is still believed to be fierce, however. |
|
January 28, 2010 According to ESPN.com, Chien-Ming Wang is considering altering his plan to return from shoulder surgery a couple months into the season and may start in spring training. Our View:Apparently four or five teams have ramped up their interest in Wang and he is considering signing a deal before spring training if the offer is enticing enough. The Cardinals, Mets and Dodgers have been mentioned as possible destinations. If he is truly healthy he could make a substantial impact at the back end of a contending rotation. |
|
January 22, 2010 Chien-Ming Wang's agent says 15 teams have expressed interest in the free agent hurler, according to the New York Daily News. Our View:While that could be an exaggeration, it's probably not actually that far off. Wang, while not overpowering, was a very effective pitcher before hurting his foot midseason 2008, and after an injury-ravaged 2009 ballooned his ERA to historic proportions, it's not a bad gamble to assume he could throw some very quality innings this season as long as he is healthy. Stay tuned. |
|
January 19, 2010 The Cardinals are believed to have some interest in free agent starter Chien-Ming Wang, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our View:At least to the point where they have requested his medical records. The interest in him is thought to be very high across the league, however, so the Cardinals are not unique in their position, and shouldn't be considered a favorite at this point. |
