White Sox GM Ken Williams missed out on his top trade target, Zack Greinke, earlier this week, but add a solid starter in Liriano. The 28-year-old lefty has had his ups and downs this season, but he has the ability to dominate, striking out over a batter per inning this season.

The Twins will receive infielder Eduardo Escobar and pitcher Pedro Hernandez in return for their former ace.
