Francisco Liriano’s career has been drastically shaken up over the past few seasons as he has moved around to a number of teams. After several solid seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Liriano, along with a duo of prospects, was dealt to the Jays at the 2016 trade deadline in exchange for starting pitcher Drew Hutchison.
Liriano went on to post solid numbers for the remainder of that season, tossing 49.1 innings with a 2.92 ERA both out of the bullpen and as a starter. He then struggled during the 2017 campaign, leading to his departure from Toronto in late July.
