Rumors of a Twins trade of Francisco Liriano to the Yankees continue to swirl because clearly, the solution for the Twins chronic inability to beat the Yanks is to trade them their best pitcher.
But you know... if the Twins aren't high on Liriano, don't like his work ethic/conditioning and aren't interested in signing him to an extension, they can probably get more value now than a year from now. And the Yankees are desperate... if they could get a significant enough package, it may be worth considering.
