By RONALD BLUMAP Sports Writer NEW YORK -- Pitcher Chien-Ming Wang and the Washington Nationals have reached an agreement on a $2 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The deal includes the chance to earn $3 million in performance bonuses, the person said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet final. Washington planned to announce the deal during a news conference Friday at spring training, the person said. Wang, a right-hander who turns 30 on March 31, had spent his entire five-year major league career with the Yankees, who allowed him to become a free agent in December when they failed to offer a 2010 contract. He made $5 million last year, when he was 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA and his season was cut short by shoulder surgery on July 29. He is not expected to be able to pitch until sometime between April and June. Wang was a 19-game winner in 2006 and 2007, starting New York's postseason openers in both years, but his career was sidetracked when he severely injured his right foot while running the bases at Houston on June 15, 2008. He missed the final 3 1/2 months of the 2008 season, then allowed 23 runs in six innings over three starts when he returned last season. He went back on the disabled list, returned in late May to make three relief appearances and six starts before his season was ended by shoulder pain. Dr. James Andrews repaired a tear in the right shoulder capsule. Also Tuesday, Washington designated left-hander Doug Slaten for assignment to open a roster spot for second baseman Adam Kennedy, whose contract was finalized Friday. http://is.gd/8xGU5 ---- By Chico Harlan * This is confirmed: Chien-Ming Wang's contract will pay him $2 million in 2010. He can earn up to $3 million in incentives. Also, he's already passed a physical -- yet another sign that this deal was days in the making. http://is.gd/8xH6i -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.45.187.244
