Via the AP -
Pitcher Chien-Ming Wang and the New York Yankees avoided salary arbitration when they agreed Monday to a $5 million, one-year contract.
The 28-year-old right-hander was 8-2 with a 4.07 ERA in 15 starts last season before injuring a foot while running the bases at Houston in mid-June. He did not return.
Wang made $4 million last season after losing in salary arbitration. He had asked for $4.6 million.
Fair deal and a good move by both sides. Now, Worm Killer can concentrate on pitching this spring with no distractions.
