Liriano is a free agent in 2012. With his injury problems it’s smart for the Twins to wait until after this season to see how he performs. He’ll obviously cost more than he would right now but it’s not worth the risk to sign him long term without some proof that he can hold up. Worst case scenario he’s gonna be an amazing bullpen guy(closer for sure) and the Twins won’t want to pay him. He’s another reason I don’t want the Twins to sign Nathan. There are so damn many starters with the Twins one of them should be able to convert to a bullpen guy that can close.

Liriano’s rookie season surpassed Livan Hernandez’s best year(s). I think Liriano could teach Hernandez a thing or two about pitching in the majors lol

I’m pretty sure that Liriano is under Twins control for another 5 seasons. I’m not 100% sure, but I think he has accrued just over one year of service time.

same question no answer from earlier, when is lirrano a free agent? because if he has decent year, long term him on a 6-7 year deal , with the last year or 2 club options.
