It’s OK if Yankees play this way for a year deal.
As long as Wang keeps good health that Yankees gonna pay double even more than this figure just matter of the time.
BTW I’ve said it before on Wang’s website and I’ll say it again,why not consider change the agent if they can’t done well.

Sean,

CMW is stuck in Taiwan since the Yankees has been late on providing the needed documents for CMW to get the visa approved. Without the visa, Wang cannot come to the US…

I hope they settle – I’ve heard arbitration can be brutal.

Buddy -

Our posts crossed — I figured you meant before getting to arbitration.

Yes Doreen & hmmm , my point was they would most likely settle & split the difference.

“Arbitration is either or, correct? They canâ€™t split the difference?”

you are correct, but i think Buddy meant they would “settle” before going to arbitration.

This from the associated press…
Cano asked for $4.55 million while the Yankees offered $3.2 million; Wang requested $4.6 million with the team countering at $4 million; and Bruney submitted $845,000 while New York proposed $640,000
