The Pittsburgh Pirates have retained the services of free-agent pitcher Ivan Nova by signing the veteran right-hander to a three-year deal worth $26 million. (www.mlb.com)
Fantasy Impact:
The Bucs may have received a bit of a hometown discount as Nova really wanted to return to Pittsburgh where he thrived after being acquired from the Yankees. Nova went 5-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 11 starts for the Pirates. Most important was his improved command of the strike zone as he punched out 52 batters while walking only three in 64.2 innings of work.
