MINNEAPOLIS -- Francisco Liriano will be staying in the American League Central.

The Twins traded the left-hander to the division rival White Sox on Saturday night for infielder Eduardo Escobar and left-hander Pedro Hernandez. It's just the seventh time the two clubs have completed a trade and the first time since 1986.

"It was getting close to the deadline, and we're trying to make a good baseball trade," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. "We certainly were looking for a possible trade with Frankie. I do want to mention that this guy is one of the best guys we've got in that clubhouse. He's a good teammate. He's a good worker, and I decided the timing, I'm going to make this move. I'm not thrilled with trading him within the division, obviously. You know where we are in the standings."

Liriano, who was scheduled to start against the Indians on Sunday, will instead be joining Chicago's rotation. Left-hander Brian Duensing will make a spot start in his place.

Liriano is scheduled to remain in Minnesota, as the Twins host the White Sox in a three-game series starting Monday at Target Field. Liriano is expected to make his first start with Chicago against his former team sometime next week

Talk about an uncomfortable situation.
 
I understand that the Twins need to make some changes to position themselves to return to competitiveness, but trading with the White Sox just feels wrong.
 
Gotta hope that Cooper can fix what's been wrong with him and he has a productive 2 months. Didn't give up a lot for him, but right now, we don't have a backup ss.

He's got great stuff, but lacks consistency.

yup its just wrong

Also he gets to pitch to the catcher (AJ...the p**ck) who he was traded for years ago (when the Twins traded AJ to San Fran)
