Never thought I'd say this: But Mike Pelfrey is a value with these contracts being signed.

2/14 for Liriano? Daaaamn.

 

[RBH]

Veteran left-hander Francisco Liriano, after spending 5½ seasons with the Minnesota Twins, will join his third team in five months after agreeing to a two-year, $14 million deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to The Star Tribune of Minneapolis.

Lirianao, traded from the Twins to the Chicago White Sox in late July, was 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA in 2012.

He's 53-54 with a 4.40 ERA in six full seasons.

Liriano, 29, pitched a no-hitter in May 2011 but failed to muster much success the rest of the season, finishing 9-10 with a 5.09 ERA.

He will join a Pirates rotation that includes A.J. Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez and James McDonald, who went a combined 33-22 for Pittsburgh in 2012.

That's a fairly nice starting rotation for Pittsburgh. They might pull a nice 80-82 next year!

And the Mets offseason of not signing a single free agent continues.

Poor Michael.

Bowden also reporting the Blue Jays are talking to Rafael Soriano. Damn, they are going for it.

 

[Jon]

Poor Michael.

Yeesh, what happened here? Granted, he could still get a lot of money from either of those teams, but I figured he'd be much more coveted. Looks like a classic Boras situation...

In 'Home Alone' when Kevin is calling the police he says, "Hello. My house is being robbed my address is 656 Lincoln Boulevard. My name is Murphy." Is he referring to you?

Yes.

I knew it!

 

[eznark]

Offseason saved! Pirates rejects always work out.

 

[Dominican Power]

About time Liriano made his way to The NL.

No way the Mets could afford him.

what a shittastic rotation LOL.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Indians have signed Scott Kazmir to a minor league deal/spring training invite.

Mariners have signed Jeremy Bonderman to a minor league deal/spring training invite.

 

[AgentChris]

I wanted the Yankees to give Kazmir a shot

Why? He's finished. It's not even like he was tearing it up in winter ball either.

 

[Blackace]

Jack Z: Hamilton asked for more money from the Mariners than he got from the Angels

Not surprising

 

[AgentChris]

He could be our long man or just eat innings later in the year. He used to be so good.

 

[Dominican Power]

I don't understand why The Yankees didn't go after AJ Pierzynski. You might as well complete the off season scum bag acquisitions by giving him a one year deal like Youk.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Rangers supposedly going hard for Michael Bourn now.

 

[clemenx]

9-10 game in the 6th inning and the 10th run was scored by a steal of home. Winter Ball sucks so good.

Back on topic. Tribe giving Kaszmir a chance. Say he's throwing 94 and he's only 28. I'm okay with it.

 

[jakncoke]

If he's going to strike any batters out it'll be in the low 90s so they can handle that. He signed a minor league deal with an invite to camp. There's basically zero risk so I'm okay with this signing.

Liriano is going to sign with the Pirates for 2 years, $14 million. I'd much rather have that deal than Correa for 2/$10. Sigh.

jesus. fucking fire neil already..

 

[Maxim726X]

Well that means the Mets have no chance... The only team they could possibly outbid is the Marlins.

This OF may actually be worse than the last one, since Hairston is 'too expensive'.

 

[Heart Attack]

i do, he played winter ball for my hometown (see avatar) before getting to the majors. He was pretty good, don't know why he sabotaged his career. I still remember that catch he made as a ranger that earned him that contract.

Looks like we'll be fielding an entirely homegrown team a lot again next year.

 

[darkside31337]

Huh the D-Backs signed Cody Ross? Pretty bizarre. Maybe they're trading Upton after all.

 

[Windu]

I guess ross will play CF?

I'm sure they will look to trade Kubel before Upton.
