I have no idea how much of these reports are true but knowing that the players in question were once Twins pitchers, it all sounds perfectly reasonable.
A few weeks back it was reported that Carl Pavano ruptured his spleen while shoveling snow. At the time, all I could think about was that I was glad the Twins hadn't re-signed him yet. He manages to get hurt in the weirdest of ways so consistently that after a while you just hope the Twins stay away from him.
Yesterday reports came out that Francisco Liriano, now a Pirate, broke his non-pitching arm on Christmas trying to scare his kids by making a loud noise. Supposedly the Pirates tore up his contact at the news. That last part of the news sounds strange. I'n not sure what kind of contract allows a team to tear up a contract if a player gets hurt by accident. Especially if the injury isn't considered major in anyway. By now, his arm should be pretty much healed.
In any event, that's just two more pitchers that the Twins no longer have to worry about.
We got all sorts of bad pitchers on the roster right now. We don't need any more headaches.
