Right handed pitcher Chien-Ming Wang wants a contract extension from the Nationals. Earlier this month, we learned that both sides were talking about it.

Today, William Ladson of MLB.com, says that a new deal with Wang is still not close although both sides are still talking. Wang is eligible to become a free agent after the World Series, but he feels loyal to the Nationals since they stuck with him during his years of shoulder issues.

Wang was 4-3 with a 4.04 ERA in 11 starts this season for the Washington Nationals.
