HOUSTON -- The surprising return of Royals right-hander Chien-Ming Wang to the big leagues has brought back one lesser consequence, at least in his eyes: The Taiwan media is back on his trail, watching and chronicling his every move.
Wang, who hadn't pitched in the Major Leagues since 2013 until last Saturday, is followed by several Taiwan reporters each day. He is asked questions before and after games, whether he pitches or not.
During Spring Training, a Taiwan media group filmed him almost every day for a documentary.
Though Wang said the number of Taiwan media these days doesn't approach the number from his Yankees days 10 years ago, it is still a part of his daily life that he tolerates, but not always cherishes.
