Francisco Liriano hopes return to Pirates sparks turnaround | |
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) Francisco Liriano had a handful of offers during free agency that were basically the same. Teams wanted him to come to spring training on a minor league contract. Realizing he was not getting a major league deal, he returned to the team where he had his best run during his 13-year career. The 35-year-old left-hander agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Feb. 4, one week before spring training. In a three seasons between 2013 and 2015, Liriano was a combined 35-25 with a 3.26 ERA in 86 starts. He was the winning pitcher in the 2013 NL wild-card game - the Pirates' first postseason appearance since 1992 - when he limited Cincinnati to one run in seven innings. MORE | |
