Baseball's Savior found this 2/16/2008 on newyork.yankees.mlb.com [flag]
TAMPA, Fla. -- No matter the outcome of Friday's arbitration hearing, Chien-Ming Wang was in line for a large raise, so he wasn't exactly fretting as the Yankees went through their first workouts of Spring Training. "Nothing yet," Wang said, checking his cell phone for messages after throwing his first bullpen session at Legends Field. The news, once it did arrive, wasn't as good as Wang may ... [link]

Yankees Win Arbitration Case with Chien-Ming Wang
Published 2/16/2008 by Nick Smith at Baseball's Savior
The Yankees will save $600k this season after they came out on top in their arbitration case with Chien-Ming Wang.  The back to back 19 game winner will make a cool, even $4 million and he’ll be one of the guys who gets it done in the middle of a rotation that could go just about anywhere in 2008.  King George is getting his due.  Legends Field, the home of the Yankees spring training facility in Tampa, FL, is being renamed George M. Steinbrenner Field .   He brought the gold back to the Yankees and while we’ve had a short drought here, I’m guessing he’ll pick up his seventh World Series title pretty darn soon (i.e. 2008).

Wang Loses Arbitration Case

Greg C. posted 2/16/2008 from slidingintohome.blogspot.com

From Peter Abraham : The Yankees beat Chien-Ming Wang in the arbitration case. Wang will be paid $4 million this year, not $4.6 million. Wang had wanted a long-term deal, but the Yankees didn't feel too comfortable with that idea. Considering that Wang has had health issues in the past, I understand where the Yankees are coming from.
