After Chien-Ming Wang's recent visit with Dr. Andrews, it was determined his injured shoulder required season-ending surgery. Reports indicate it's similar to the injury Jorge Posada suffered last season. Wang went 1-6 this year with an ERA in the stratosphere.
The Yankees will have to determine what to do with Wang next year. Do they offer salary arbitration and pay in the $5M range to a player who may not be available till after the All Star break? Will Wang accept a minor-league deal and rehab? I doubt it. I have a feeling we've seen the last of Chien-Ming Wang in a New York Yankee uniform and he'll accept a $1-$2M deal with incentives elsewhere.
Wang - thanks for the memories. When you were on, you were something else.
