The Yankees continued selling all the way up to Monday’s deadline. They’re sending starter Ivan Nova to the Pirates, Jon Heyman of Today’s Knuckleball reports.
Nova, 29, hasn’t had a particularly good season as he’s put up a 4.90 ERA with a 75/25 K/BB ratio in 97 1/3 innings. However, he’ll provide depth at the back of the Pirates’ rotation, something they sorely need.
Nova is earning $4.1 million this year and can become a free agent at season’s end.
We’ll update you once we learn who’s headed to the Yankees from the Pirates.
