Orioles rumors: Team interested in Pirates starter Francisco Liriano

The Orioles are reportedly interested in Francisco Liriano, which is such a bad thing to hear you can only hope it’s not true.

Baseball’s trade deadline is over a month away, which doesn’t mean that the Orioles aren’t out there looking to make an early move if they can find the right one. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported on Wednesday afternoon that the Orioles are interested in Pirates starter Francisco Liriano.

Some interest in Liriano makes sense on the Orioles part, given that he would give them a left-handed starting pitcher, which they don’t have, and he is signed through next year, so he would represent more than just a rental.
