Also, slash line, .272/.309/.402, 1.28 WHIP. 12 runs allowed (6 ER) in first 2 starts, much better after that.

The Nats took a chance on Wang, and paid him to recover. Clearly, he isn’t what he was 3 years ago, but he can be someone’s 5th starter. Rizzo is going to pay Wang for what he is now, not what he was.
