According to mlb.com, Francisco Liriano has signed a two-year, $14 million deal with Pittsburgh.
Nice deal for him.

I realize people /scouts judge talent differently but still, $14 million for Liriano? I figured he would sign with somebody for the minimum amount of money. I guess i was wrong. I take it that most of that money is guaranteed.

It just shows how desperate teams get for starting pitching. I'm glad the Sox didn't re-up with Liriano. Filthy stuff in his arsenal but the guy is wild, wild, wild.

I'm surprised the Cubs didn't pick him up. They've been picking up a lot relatively crappy pitching lately.

Oh man. Maybe a league switch will help, but that's silly.

I guess after looking at blantons deal, it's shouldn't be.

Liriano is not a good pitcher. Period. But there is a demand for starters with experience. Even those who only perform poorly.

I'm not surprised, the going rate for an average major league starting pitcher these days is in the 10-12 million range. Pirates probably have to offer a bit of a premium to attract free agents and are willing to gamble for a higher upside to get a starter at a relatively reasonable price. They'll probably regret it, but it's not like they're sinking the ship at that rate.
