Report: Yankees sign infielder Donovan Solano to minor league contract
Mailbag: Phillies, Betances, Hill, Granderson, Severino

Earlier today, the Royals signed former Yankees ace Chien-Ming Wang to a minor league contract, according to Jeff Passan. He gets a $1M base salary in the big leagues plus a bunch of incentives. Wang, now 35, has not pitched in MLB since 2013 — he’s spent the last two years in Triple-A with the Reds, White Sox, Braves, and Mariners — and he owns a 6.60 ERA (5.17 FIP) in 163.2 big league innings since hurting his foot running the bases in Houston in 2008. Sucks. Little did we know that was final day as an effective pitcher. Hope CMW gets back to the show in 2016.

Anyway, here is tonight’s open thread. The Islanders are the only local team in action, though there’s some college hoops on as well. You folks know how these open threads work by now, so have at it.

(The video is every pitch from Wang’s big league debut in 2005. How cool is that? Here’s the box score.)
