Wang Is Now A Free Agent

It's official, Chien-Ming Wang is now a free agent after the Yankees decided not to offer the sinker baller a contract. Here's some more from Mark Hale:

"There's no doubt that we had to make a tough decision," general manager Brian Cashman said in a statement. "We are still hopeful that our relationship can continue, but those decisions are yet to be made."

Whether that relationship does continue comes down to whether the Yankees and Wang can agree on a contract palatable to both sides. On Friday, Wang's agent, Alan Nero, told The Post that the Yankees "would like to keep him and offer him under [what he would earn in arbitration]."

Yesterday Nero said of the non-tendering, "We're disappointed, but we understand the business side of this. We will entertain all offers before we make any decisions, including any offers that may come from the Yankees."

Maybe there's still a chance he stays, but I doubt it.
