PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) -The Seattle Mariners assigned catcher Wei Wang to Class A High Desert on Thursday, making him the first-ever player from China to make a minor league roster.
Wang, who was signed as a non-drafted free agent on June 20, played professionally in China for 10 years. He has been the starting catcher for the Chinese National Team since 2002.
As part of his deal with the Mariners, Wang is free to rejoin the Chinese National team when requested to do so.
