Minor MLB Transactions: 1/7/16

By Jeff Todd | January 7, 2016 at 4:32pm CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves:

  • The Royals have agreed to a minor league deal with righty Chien-Ming Wang, as Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports (Twitter links). The Taiwanese veteran would earn a $1MM base rate if he makes the major league roster, and can achieve up to $1.5MM in incentives in a starting capacity or as much as $250K as a reliever. Wang, who’ll turn 36 just before the season starts, hasn’t cracked the majors since 2013. He spent last year with the Triple-A affiliates of the Braves and Mariners, and also made three starts for the independent Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. In his 130 innings of affiliated ball, Wang posted a 5.88 ERA and registered just 61 strikeouts against 35 walks.

    Much less expensive than Ian Kennedy, and he won’t cost a draft pick!

    I hope he does well, as a Yankee he was amazing all went bad when he got that injury against Houston in 2008, he was never the same. It’s sad…

    Maybe the Royals will “hang out with their Wang out” in the playoffs next postseason

    Damn the NL for ruining Wang’s promising career.
