Francisco Liriano, Tigers Reportedly Agree to 1-Year, $4 Million Contract
Francisco Liriano has reportedly found a home with the Detroit Tigers in 2018.
On Friday, Robert Murray of FanRag Sports reported Liriano is signing a one-year deal with the Tigers worth $4 million, with $1 million in incentives.
The left-hander began last season with the Toronto Blue Jays. Not only were the Blue Jays slipping out of playoff contention midway through the 2017 campaign, but Liriano was also 6-5 with a 5.88 ERA in 18 starts for Toronto through July. It made little sense to keep a struggling pitcher who was in the final year of his contract.
