Liriano Gets Visa, Will Join Twins

Francisco Liriano reportedly received his U.S. visa on Monday and will travel to Minnesota's spring training home in Florida, according to the Associated Press.

"I obtained the visa, and I will go away tomorrow for training," Liriano told The Associated Press on Monday.

There was a delay in obtaining the proper paperwork because of a Florida drunken-driving plea and his tardiness for the team's reporting deadline of Feb. 18.
