The Nationals remain in contract talks with Chien-Ming Wang, but no deal is imminent. Washington is Wang's first choice because of the confidence they showed in him as he worked his way back from a major shoulder injury. "We are in communication and we're negotiating," Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said. "We're trying to negotiate a contract. I wouldn't describe it as imminent or close. We're still communicating. We still have a mutual interest for Chien-Ming to sign with the Nationals."
