Chien-Ming Wang had asked for $4.6 Million, while the Yankees were offering $4 Million, in the latest of arbitration cases. This was Wang’s first year of arbitration eligibility, and he will not reach free agency until 2011.

The Yankees won the arbitration case, so Chien-Ming Wang will be making $4 Million. Although Wang did not win, the offer of $4 Million which he will be getting this season, is stil a substantial number and upgrade for Wang.
The 27-year-old Wang earned $489,500 last season, when he was 19-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 30 starts for the Yankees, walking 59 and striking out 104 in 199 1/3 innings.

I would guess that in the next few years, the Yankees will agree on a long term deal with Wang, if he keeps putting up numbers like he has the past few years.
