Liriano signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners on Sunday that includes an invitation to big-league camp, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Liriano joined the Mets in spring training last year and spent 2019 at Triple-A Syracuse, where he had a .209/.346/.403 slash line with 10 home runs in 82 games. The 28-year-old last saw action in the majors with the White Sox in 2017 when he totaled 46 plate appearances in 21 games.

The Mets assigned Liriano to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even with three lineup regulars (Jed Lowrie, Yoenis Cespedes and Todd Frazier) for the Mets seemingly on track to begin the season on the injured list, there wasn't a clear path for Liriano to break camp with the big club. The outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Syracuse after spending 2018 at the minors' highest level as a member of the Brewers and Angels organizations.

Liriano signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deal includes an invitation to spring training. Liriano spent all of the 2018 campaign at Triple-A, splitting time between Colorado Springs (Brewers) and Salt Lake (Angels) and slashing a combined .253/.342/.472 with 20 homers and 11 stolen bases in 102 games. The 27-year-old has failed to impress during a pair of brief major-league stints, hitting a combined .220/.293/.287 in 59 games. He projects as organizational outfield depth.

Liriano signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Liriano was let go by the Angels earlier this month and had a .268/.343/.523 slash line with 16 home runs for Triple-A Salt Lake this season. The 27-year-old spent spring training with the Brewers in 2016, when he was hit by a pitch in the face and suffered facial fractures and a concussion that sidelined him for the season. Lirano will report to Triple-A Colorado Springs to bolster the organization's outfield depth with Keon Broxton and Brett Phillips still on the major-league roster.

Liriano signed a minor-league deal with the Angels, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
A former top prospect, Liriano will join a new organization after hitting .256/.323/.416 with 17 home runs and seven steals in 123 games with the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate last season. Liriano's power is intriguing, but his speed has tailed off in recent years, and he has largely struggled to hit enough to profile as a big-league piece. He will serve as organizational outfield depth and will get a chance to make the team this spring as the fourth outfielder.

Liriano was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox opted to dump Liriano from the 40-man roster, and the 26-year-old in turn becomes a minor-league free agent. He missed all of 2016 after being hit in the face by a pitch during spring training, but returned to hit 17 homers in 123 games with Triple-A Charlotte this season. However, he also struck out 133 times in 500 plate appearances, and Liriano will need to make more consist contact if he's to ever carve out a significant role at the big-league level.

Liriano will be away from the White Sox for three days to attend the birth of his child, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear if Liriano will be placed on the paternity list or not with the White Sox not in need of his roster spot, but it appears he will not play again until next Tuesday at the earliest. Liriano has seen sporadic playing time in left field since starting four games in a row out there earlier this month, and his absence will leave Nicky Delmonico and Alan Hanson to handle those duties over the weekend.

Liriano went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Liriano has started all three games since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte. The 26-year-old is well past being considered a prospect, but there's not much blocking his way to playing time from now until the end of the season. The one-time, highly rated prospect had missed the entire 2016 season after suffering facial fractures when he was hit by a pitch. That led to a concussion and vision problems. At this point, he's merely trying to reclaim a career in baseball and is with an organization that will grant him an opportunity to show that he still belongs.

Liriano started in left field and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Liriano had his contract purchased from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday after the White Sox placed Leury Garcia (thumb) on the 10-day disabled list. With both Garcia and Nicky Delmonico (wrist) sidelined, Liriano could be a regular in the starting lineup. The 26-year-old Liriano, a former top-100 prospect who spent time with manager Rick Renteria when the two were in Padres organization, had 17 homers and a .739 OPS over 123 games in the minors before his callup.

Liriano's contract was purchased from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Once a top prospect in the Padres' system, Liriano has floundered over the past couple seasons, in part due to injuries. He played 38 games in the majors in 2014, but has been confined to Triple-A since then. Liriano hit .256/.323/.416 with 17 home runs and seven steals in 500 plate appearances at Triple-A. With Leury Garcia (thumb) on the DL, there should be a handful of starts waiting for Liriano over the next couple weeks.
