The Yankees may be getting ready to welcome a familiar face back to the organization.
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported Friday night that New York has agreed to terms on a Minor League deal with Chien-Ming Wang, who won 55 games for the Yankees in a four-year span from 2005-'08. The Yankees have not announced the signing, which could potentially complete the team's pitching staff.
Wang, 32, won 19 games in '06 and '07 for the Yankees, but his career has dissolved in a hail of injuries. Wang's last two seasons with New York -- '08 and '09 -- were marred by foot, hip and shoulder woes that limited him to 27 appearances and a 9-8 record with a 5.78 ERA.
Wang, a right-hander, missed the entire 2010 season while recovering from shoulder surgery, but he pitched in brief stints for the Nationals in each of the past two seasons. Wang went 6-6 with a 4.94 ERA in 21 games for Washington, but he's 61-32 with a 4.26 career mark, overall.
For two seasons -- '06-'07 -- Wang was the rock in the Yankees' rotation. He tied for the team lead in starts (33) and the league lead in wins (19) for a team that won 97 games. The next year, at age 27, Wang went 19-7 with a 3.70 ERA and led the Yankees in innings pitched (215.1).
Wang showcased his skills at the World Baseball Classic, where he threw six shutout innings to lead Team Chinese Taipei past Australia in an opening-round game. Wang threw another six shutout innings against Team Japan in a second-round game, but his team lost by a 4-3 score.
