     Chien-Ming Wang-S-YankeesFeb. 10 - 8:55 am et
    According to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe, right-hander Chien-Ming Wang has decided to sign with the Nationals.
    Wang, 29, had back-to-back 19-win seasons in 2006 and 2007, but he has battled multiple injuries since then and is a major question mark heading into the 2010 season. He had a 9.64 ERA and a 2.02 WHIP in 12 outings (nine starts) last year while pitching with an aching shoulder. The Nationals are hoping he'll be ready to contribute by May.

     Joba Chamberlain-S-YankeesFeb. 10 - 8:53 am et
    The Yankees plan to use Joba Chamberlain more liberally this season, no matter what role he serves for the club.
    We may finally bare witness to the end of the "Joba Rules" in the Bronx. "He's just going to go out and pitch and he'll be the one who'll dictate when he comes out as far as getting hit or getting tired or losing his stuff," pitching coach Dave Eiland said Tuesday. Chamberlain is set to battle for a rotation spot this spring with fellow right-hander Phil Hughes.

     Tim Lincecum-S-GiantsFeb. 10 - 8:40 am et
    The Giants and Tim Lincecum will engage in an arbitration hearing on Friday to determine the right-hander's salary for 2010.
    Lincecum requested $13 million and was offered $8 million when arbitration figures were exchanged in mid-January. Clubs typically win arbitration hearings, but it would seem Timmy has a pretty strong case. The 25-year-old kid is 40-17 with a 2.90 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over his first 90 major league starts and has won the NL Cy Young Award twice.

     Russell Branyan-1B-MarinersFeb. 9 - 9:43 pm et
    Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Indians and Blue Jays are interested in free-agent first baseman Russell Branyan.
    Both teams, however, are also interested in other hitters. Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin, who has seen Branyan work out recently, believes the veteran is healthy. "I see him every day in the weight room, doing all this core work," Corbin said. "I don’t know what the situation was with Seattle, but he looks good to me. He’s hitting every day with (Dan) Uggla and Khalil (Greene). I don’t see anything wrong." The 34-year-old Branyan hoped to receive a three-year deal this winter, but might now have to settle for a small one-year deal.

     Rod Barajas-C-Blue JaysFeb. 9 - 9:39 pm et
    Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that two teams that have interest in free agent catcher Rod Barajas -- the Mets and Rangers -- are experiencing complications in their pursuit of the veteran.
    Morosi writes that the Mets are out of money and the Rangers may be unable to increase payroll while in ownership transition. The 34-year-old Barajas smacked 19 homers last season. He should be cheap enough if either team can open up a nominal amount of money.

     Willy Taveras-OF-AthleticsFeb. 9 - 9:19 pm et
    According to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick, Astros general manager Ed Wade said he would be interested in bringing Willy Taveras to camp on a minor league contract if he clears waivers.
    The Athletics released Taveras on Tuesday after trading for him from the Reds last week. With his mix of speed and solid defense, Taveras could be a solid fourth or fifth outfielder on most teams at a minimal cost -- including the Astros.

     Johnny Damon-OF-YankeesFeb. 9 - 9:15 pm et
    Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that fee agent outfielder Johnny Damon has not moved off his demand of a two-year contract.
    And look where that has got him and agent Scott Boras. The Tigers, Rays and Braves appear to be in the mix for Damon, but obviously none of the three have met Damon's lofty demands yet. "We continue to monitor everything," Tigers club president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "I am not sure if we are close on anything."
