The Yankees have agreed to terms with right-hander Chien-Ming Wang, reports
CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman. It's safe to assume it's a minor-league contract.

根據CBSSportsr記者Jon Heyman的消息，洋基已經接受了與右投手王建民的合約協議。
幾乎可以確定是一紙小聯盟合約。

Wang, 33 next week, threw 12 scoreless innings for Chinese Taipei in the
World Baseball Classic earlier this month. A number of teams scouted him
during the event and had interest in signing him, including New York. He was
at the team's spring training complex in Tampa to throw some bullpens and
audition for a job earlier this week.

下個星期就要過33歲生日的王建民，在這個月稍早的WBC為台灣投出了12局無失分的表
現。許多球隊在比賽期間派出球探觀察並表示出簽下王建民的興趣，其中也包括了紐
約洋基。王建民已經在洋基位於佛州坦帕的春訓基地投過幾次牛棚，並於本週稍早進
行試投以爭取這份工作。

From 2006-07, Wang went 38-13 with a 3.67 ERA for the Bombers, finishing
second to Johan Santana in the 2006 AL Cy Young voting. He hurt his foot
running the bases during interleague play in 2008 and tore his shoulder
capsule in 2009, injuries that have limited him to 231 2/3 innings from
2008-12 with New York and the Nationals.

從2006至2007年，王建民為紐約"轟炸基"投出了38勝13敗，防禦率3.67的成績，並在
2006年美聯賽揚獎投票中僅次於Johan Santana。王建民在2008年跨聯盟比賽中因為
跑壘傷了腳，並在2009年發生肩部關節囊撕裂傷。這些傷也讓他在2008至2012年之間
只為紐約洋基和華盛頓國民隊投了共231又3分之2局。

The Yankees had been looking to sign a veteran starter for Triple-A depth,
which is where Wang fits in. They have six starters for five big league
rotation spots -- CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte, Phil Hughes,
Ivan Nova and David Phelps -- but injuries will inevitably pop-up. Hughes has
already battled a back injury in camp.

洋基尋求簽下一個有經驗的先發投手來加強3A的板凳深度，而王建民也正符合這樣的
資格。洋基現在有六位先發投手在爭取大聯盟的五個先發輪值位置，包括CC Sabathia、
黑田博樹、Andy Pettitte、Phil Hughes、Ivan Nova、以及David Phelps，但這些人選
都可預見有受傷隱憂，其中Hughes更是已經在跟背傷奮戰中。
