Earlier today, the Royals signed former Yankees ace Chien-Ming Wang to a minor league contract, according to Jeff Passan. He gets a $1M base salary in the big leagues plus a bunch of incentives. Wang, now 35, has not pitched in MLB since 2013 — he’s spent the last two years in Triple-A with the Reds, White Sox, Braves, and Mariners — and he owns a 6.60 ERA (5.17 FIP) in 163.2 big league innings since hurting his foot running the bases in Houston in 2008. Sucks. Little did we know that was final day as an effective pitcher.
