Yankees Open To Trading Ivan Nova
November 24th, 2015 at 6:28pm CST ‧ By Steve Adams
The Yankees have let other teams know that right-hander Ivan Nova is available
in trades, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. However, the team isn’
t keen on selling low on Nova and is rather marketing the 29-year-old as a pit
cher in his prime who will be stronger and improved next season when he’s a y
ear further removed from Tommy John surgery.
The market for Nova figures to be something of a mixed bag, but it’s hard to
envision a team paying full price considering he’s a year removed from free a
gency and coming off a season that was cut short by recovery from his aforemen
tioned surgery. Nova logged just 94 innings with an unsightly 5.07 ERA, averag
ing just 6.0 K/9 against 3.2 BB/9 with a 49 percent ground-ball rate this past
season. He did manage a 3.72 ERA through his first 58 innings before perhaps
wearing down and yielding four or more runs in four of his final seven outings
.
That season certainly didn’t bolster Nova’s trade stock, but teams could loo
k to be opportunistic in acquiring an arm who delivered strong results in both
2011 and 2013 and also projects to earn a modest $4.4MM salary in 2016 (in th
e estimation of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz). In Nova’s peak season, 2013,
he posted a 3.10 ERA with 7.5 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 53.5 percent ground-ball rat
e in 139 1/3 innings of work. It should also be noted that for all of his stru
ggles, Nova averaged 93 mph on his fastball in 2015 — the same mark he averag
ed in 2013 and a bit faster than his 2011 average.
Sherman notes that there are scenarios where the Yankees could package Nova wi
th additional talent in order to acquire a starter with multiple years of cont
rol remaining, although that’s clearly a nebulous scenario with myriad possib
ilities. The Yankees are said to be very open-minded this winter, with outfiel
der Brett Gardner and closer Andrew Miller among the names who have been said
to be available (though Miller would require a significant return). Both could
conceivably net a controllable pitcher if packaged with Nova, though that’s
just speculation on my behalf.
