The Pittsburgh
Pirates announced Saturday that outfielder Melky Cabrera and
left-hander Francisco
Liriano will both make the Opening Day roster.
Both veterans had signed minor league contracts to join the
team this offseason.
Last year, the A's blew by low preseason expectations to win
97 games. We look at this season's teams with sneaky upside.
Cabrera, 34, is hitting .310 with 3 doubles and 2 RBIs in 42
at-bats this spring. Liriano, 35, has a 4.66 ERA in nine appearances this
spring.
Cabrera is a career .286 hitter in 14 major league seasons.
This is Liriano's second stint with the Pirates. The 13-year
veteran, who is 107-111 with a 4.18 ERA in his career, previously pitched with
the Pirates from 2013 to '16.
