the New York Yankees and plans to sign with the Toronto Blue Jays. Wang signed
with the Yankees on March 23, and the 33-year-old right-hander was 4-4 with a
2.33 ERA in nine starts for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre. New York released
him Friday. He originally signed with the Yankees in 2000 and went 55-26 in five
seasons. Wang has been slowed by injuries since then, starting when he injured
his foot in 2008. Wang was 2-6 with a 6.68 ERA in 10 games last year in his
third season with Washington. Agent Al Nero said the agreement with Toronto was
in the process of being finalized. The Blue Jays 4.56 ERA is 28th in the major
leagues. When asked about Wang before Torontos home game against the Texas
Rangers, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said he didnt "know anything about
that." -- With files from The Canadian Press

Scontate Uomo . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike
Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill
went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden
nugget variety. RIO DE JANEIRO -- With the Olympics just a few weeks away,
Brazil faces a litany of problems: an economy in freefall, the Zika virus and a
political crisis with an impeached president. But for those brave -- or
foolhardy -- enough to make the trip, Rio de Janeiro is a city rich with
potential rewards. Broadcasters have already deemed the citys backdrop for the
Summer Games the most telegenic ever. But no matter how good this teeming
seaside metropolis -- where the urban jungle and the literal jungle meet --
looks on TV, footage simply cant compare with the experience of actually being
here.Heres a Q&A on tips for visiting Rio, from staying safe to samba
parties:---Q: Is Rio safe?A: With an estimated 85,000 police and soldiers
patrolling the streets during the games -- twice the security contingent in
London in 2012 -- Olympic and local officials have insisted Rio will be the
safest city on earth during the Aug. 5-21 games. Still, violent crime is a fact
of life in this city, starkly divided between haves and have nots, so its best
to keep a low profile.For Cariocas, as Rios 6 million residents are called,
low-key dressing is de rigueur for both safety and practicality. Havaianas, the
Brazilian flip-flop brand, are Rios uncontested footwear of choice. And the
citys golden-sand beaches make board shorts and T-shirts, or hot pants and tank
tops, a uniform for rich and poor alike. (While Rios Southern Hemisphere winters
tend to be mild, thermometers can dip in August into what Cariocas consider the
bone-chilling depths of the mid-60s, so pack a sweater or light jacket.)Watches
and jewelry not clearly made from plastic are best avoided, as is using
cellphones in public or conspicuously carrying camera equipment. Electronics are
extremely expensive in Brazil, and a smartphone can cost several months worth of
salary for locals, so its best to keep them under wraps.If you do get mugged,
dont react or fight. Hand over your possessions calmly and without hesitation.
Its only money and/or stuff. And no matter how much of a pain the ensuing
nightmare of card cancellations proves, its not worth getting injured.---Q: Do
people speak English?A: In a word, no. Outside Olympic venues and high-end
hotels and restaurants, most Cariocas only speak Portuguese, though they might
know a few words of English or Spanish. On the other hand, most people are eager
to help foreigners and will resort even to pantomime to get their point
across.---Q: Whats for dinner?A: If you go to one of the myriad churrascaria
(shoe-hass-car-EE-ya) all-you-can-eat Brazilian barbeque joints, the answer is
meat, meat and more meat. Roving waters brandishing spits stacked with cuts of
prime beef, lamb chops, pork sausages and even wizened black chicken hearts will
insist on refilling your plate till you verge on bursting.For vegetarians or
those recovering from a meat overdose, options are limited. Best bets include
corner juice bars offfering a cornucopia of freshly squeezed tropical fruit
juices, as well as acai (ah-sa-EE) -- a deep purple Amazonian palm berry thats
frozen, blended and served slushy.dddddddddddd---Q: Is there public
transportation?A: The citys metro line is being extended to serve the beachfront
Leblon neighborhood and reach the far-western Barra da Tijuca neighborhood,
where Olympic Park is located. But the project is behind schedule and may not be
finished in time for the games. Buses are confusing, packed, dangerous and
generally best avoided. Cabs are plentiful and decently reliable -- just make
sure your cabby turns headlights on after dark. (Many wont.)---Q: Besides
sports, what is there to do in Rio during the games?A: Plenty. And the good news
is, the best things in Rio are free.Rio was hard hit by the recession, with the
economy shrinking last year by 4 percent, sending unemployment and inflation
soaring. The nosedive of the local currency, the real, has made Rio much cheaper
for visitors spending dollars or euros. But the cost of hotels and restaurants
can still be shocking. Savvy travelers can staunch the bloodletting by taking
advantage of the citys many free attractions:-Sugarloaf Mountain: The sheer
granite outcropping that presides over the waters of the Guanabara Bay will no
doubt prove a breathtaking backdrop for the Olympic sailing races. But rather
than just ogling the iconic rock, why not hike it? A guide is necessary to scale
the Sugarloaf itself, but its stumpier twin, the Morro da Urca, is doable
without help. A mud path winds through tropical vegetation to a summit with
peerless views over the citys dense patchwork of towers, hillside favela slums
and mist-enshrouded rainforest.-Sunset at Arpoador: Take in the suns spectacular
nightly performance as it sinks into the Atlantic from atop the Arpoador rock
formation in between Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches. The crowd there raucously
applauds the glittering show, night after night.-Pedra do Sal: Experience a roda
de samba, or live samba music, at the birthplace of Brazils most famous musical
genre. Monday nights bring hordes of aficionados to this former slave market in
the Gamboa region of historic downtown for an open-air dance party.-Centro: Rios
beaches tend to steal the thunder, but the Centro downtown region, where the
city got its start 451 years ago, is a treasure trove of colonial-era churches
and historic monuments. Perhaps the most stunning among them is the Mosteiro Sao
Bento, a Baroque church and working monastery where monks perform Gregorian
chants during Sunday Mass. Get there early to snag a seat. Also in Centro is the
Portuguese Royal Reading Room, a 19th century gem of soaring jacaranda hardwood
bookshelves and stained glass windows, tucked into the newly rehabilitated Praca
Tirdentes.
