Reds Sign Chien-Ming Wang
They signed him to a minor league deal. I really don't know why though. They don't need any starters

They have 6 right now before even signing him.

The Dodgers, who led the Major Leagues in attendance, saw those numbers reflected across social media platforms. Dodger Stadium was the most checked-in sports venue in the United States and ranked fourth on the list of most checked-in locations in the U.S. in 2013, according to Facebook.
Dodger Stadium was also the eighth-most Instagrammed location of 2013. The team led MLB in total growth throughout the 2013 season on Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram and its growth of 193,483 on Twitter was third in baseball.
