The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to terms with veteran reliever Francisco Liriano.

The lefty will be a non-roster invitee to training camp and will earn $1.5 million this season, plus bonuses, if he makes the team, according to TSN Blue Jays Reporter Scott Mitchell.

As Robbie said, invite to camp and he gets $1.5M if he makes the club, plus built in bonuses, per source.
3.47 ERA as a reliever in 2019, opted out last year.
He’s 37 but considering the .217/.296/.304 career slash against LHB, not a bad arm to add to pen mix. https://t.co/y9QSBQaYBW

Liriano, 37, opted out of last season. He appeared in 69 games during the 2019 campaign, going 5-3 and had a 3.47 ERA with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This will be his second stint with Toronto, having been with the team for parts of the 2016 and 2017 seasons. He went 8-7, with a 4.77 ERA in 28 appearances, with 26 of those coming as a starter.

During the 2017 season, he was traded to the Houston Astros with Teoscar Hernandez and Nori Aoki coming back in return.
