CPBL:
One time NT star Chih-Chia Chang is no longer employed by the Bears. Read more on the topic.
So far all of the high profile names previously mentioned have come under intense scrutiny and are no longer in the CPBL. We'll have to wait and see what the deal is with Bulls slugger Chia-Hsien Hsieh.
Speaking of the Bulls, CPBL ROY/MVP Yi-Chuan Lin received a 100% raise. He'll make 220,000 NT/month (~$6,800 USD) in 2010. Fellow Bulls rookie and 10 game winner - RHP Ko-Chien Lin also received a hefty raise (110 K NT/mo in '09 > 180 K NT/mo in '10).
MLB:
There are 6 teams (3 from the NL and 3 from the AL) interested in CMW. One of those teams is the Mets.
