05/29: Marchand: Cashman Calls Wang's Offseason Rest a Mistake
Posted by: Patrick
On Michael Kay's show on 1050 ESPN Radio today yesterday, Andrew Marchand reported that the Yankees had instructed Chien-Ming Wang to resist his usual leg work this offseason, as he recovered from his lisfranc injury. This comes from Brian Cashman, who has called the move a mistake in hindsight.
For what it's worth, Wang is unhappy with how the Yankees are using him right now. Brian Cashman apparently told Marchand that Wang's contract says "baseball player, not starting pitcher." That's correct, though I don't know how necessary it was to put it in those terms. At any rate, hopefully Wang has turned a corner and we'll see him back to his old self soon.
