Pirates continue to work on Liriano contract
Francisco Liriano - S - Chicago White Sox
Feb. 1, 2013 - 9:25 PM ET

Pirates GM Neal Huntington was non-committal on Friday when asked if he expected to reach a contract agreement with Francisco Liriano before spring training begins.

The Pirates remain interested in signing Liriano, but are interested in restructuring the proposed deal. Liriano injured his non-throwing arm in December and is unlikely to be ready to go when pitchers and catchers report on February 11. With strong mutual interest, this deal should get finished in the coming weeks.
