WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Free agent pitcher Chien-Ming Wang and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a contract, sources say.
Citing an unnamed team source, The Washington Post reported Tuesday the former New York Yankee hurler and the Nationals have inked a deal to be officially unveiled Friday at the team's spring training headquarters in Viera, Fla.
The newspaper said terms were not disclosed, but some media reports indicated it was a one-year deal worth between $2 million and $3 million .
Wang, 29, who won 38 games for New York between 2006 and 2007, lost his status as a top starter the last two seasons after being plagued by injuries, including a torn tendon in his right foot in 2008 and right shoulder surgery last performed last July.
The Yankees non-tendered him in December after he pitched in just 12 games last year, going 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA, the Post said.
The sinkerball specialist sports a lifetime 55-26 record and a 4.16 ERA.
