GM: Giants Traded Liriano Partly Because Of Injury Track Record
Jun 13, 2014 10:00 PM
While nobody wishes injuries upon another team's player, Brian Sabean will receive less heat in 2007 over the Francisco Liriano trade. Liriano is likely to miss the entire 2007 season as he is set to undergo Tommy John surgery on Monday.
His injury potential was one reason the Giants traded him.
"His health was a concern all the way through," Sabean said. "His time spent on the mound with us reflected that. If you look at his track record, he missed significant time."
Joe Nathan was also part of the deal and he also underwent the procedure.
