The Pirates have declined their 2016 option on Radhames Liz, who is now a free agent.
It's no surprise that the Bucs have taken steps to part ways with Liz; they designated him for assignment twice last season, so it isn't as if he was a high priority. What does surprise me about today's news is that Liz had an option. Maybe I'm going crazy, but I don't recall ever hearing about it. We never mentioned it when Liz's signing was announced, and neither did MLB.com or MLBTR or the Trib.
