[外電] Nationals, Wang Discussing Contract Extension
By Steve Adams [October 16, 2011 at 9:05pm CST]
The Nationals and righty Chien-Ming Wang continue to discuss an extension,
according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, but the two sides aren't yet close to a
deal.
Wang, who turns 32 next March, threw 62 1/3 innings of 4.04 ERA ball for the
Nationals this year in his first taste of big league action since 2009. The
former Yankee demonstrated pinpoint control (1.9 BB/9) but his strikeout rate
was dangerously low (3.6 K/9), though that's par for the course for Wang. He
did manage to whiff 16 hitters over his final 23 2/3 innings without issuing
a walk.
Wang prefers to stay with the Nationals because he appreciates the loyalty
they showed him when he was recovering from shoulder injuries for almost two
years. He received a big vote of confidence from manager Davey Johnson who
said, "If I'm here, he could have my salary."
Wang says money won't be a big issue if it means re-signing with Washington,
but his precision and healthy final months could earn him a raise from the
$1MM guarantee he received in his last one-year deal with the Nats.
