Twins officials are open to the idea of trading Francisco Liriano, according to
Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Liriano, who avoided
arbitration with the Twins on the weekend, is on track to hit free agency after
the 2012 season if Minnesota doesn't lock him up long-term.
The Twins don't plan to sign Liriano to an extension, according to Christensen.
Long-term talks “went nowhere” and Liriano hinted at a three-year, $39MM
extension when the sides discussed a deal, according to Christensen.
There would be demand for the left-hander if the Twins made him available.
Liriano posted a 3.62 ERA with 9.4 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 in 191 2/3 innings last
year. He appears to have recovered completely from Tommy John surgery and makes
just $4.3MM in 2011.
