Good move for them, others out there for Mets RT @_7Chris_7: @michaelgbaron Pirates gave Francisco Liriano 2 years/$14 million....

Francisco Liriano had a 5.34 ERA in 2012, but K/BB/HR combo produced a 4.34 FIP. You'll prob hear his name as a "bounceback" candidate.

Given the choice between Francisco Liriano at 2/$14M and Edwin Jackson at 4/$52 M, I'd chew my right arm off before my left.
