Report: Liriano signs with Phillies
Former Pirates pitcher Francisco Liriano signed with the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday. While there had not been much reported interest in the Pirates retaining Liriano, his departure is a blow to a bullpen that is short on left-handers and veterans.
Liriano will make $1.5 million guaranteed with an additional $1.25 million available in incentives on the one year deal. Jon Heyman was the first to report the deal was close, and Robert Murray was the first with contract details.
