LAS VEGAS (AP) —White Sox from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday for minor league pitcher Yordi Rosario and $500 http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey ,000 in international signing bonus pool allocation.A 31-year-old right-hander, Nova was 9-9 with a 4.19 ERA in 29 starts this season, striking out 114 in 161 innings. He is 78-64 with a 4.26 ERA in nine seasons with the New York Yankees (2010-16) and Pirates (2016-18).Chicago was looking for a starter since touted rookie Michael Kopech had Tommy John surgery in September.“We think he’s going to be able to eat up some innings and pitch effectively for us,” Chicago manager Rick Renteria said. “I think the front office was doing their due diligence in trying to acquire someone of Nova’s status and stature, and all the reports from everybody we’ve spoken to Sonny Gray Jersey , this kid’s a good pick up for us.”Nova has a $8.5 million base salary next year in the final season of a $26 million, three-year contract, then can become a free agent.Renteria is counting on Nova to mentor young pitchers.“A lot of these guys that we have now that have started experiencing playing at the major league level and having some successes and hitting some bumps in the road, sure, they’re well served with the guy that has experience behind them Luis Severino Jersey ,” he said. “I think (James) Shields did something like that for us the last few years, to try to be the guy. I think Nova’s experience in time will certainly be a part of that.”A 19-year-old right-hander, Rosario was 1-4 with a 2.57 ERA in 11 starts and three relief appearances last year in the Dominican Summer League and Arizona Rookie League. He struck out 70 in 56 innings. Diamondbacks split the split-squad games."White Sox 3, Diamondbacks 7Rangers 7, Diamondbacks 2We had both Greinke and Ray going on the same day.Greinke almost went 6 innings and got his pitch count up to 85.The old man’s arm hasn’t fallen off and he appears ready to go.Ray did his dominating thing with a high pitch count http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey , he seems to be getting close.Which is all good, around this point during spring training, I believe most players and fans are ready for some games to count.There will not be a spring training game today, but does that really matter?Related: Greinke Covers Plenty of Ground vs. White SoxD-backs Not in a Rush to Name Opening Day StarterIt could be Greinke or Ray, but probably Greinke with his contract and good season last year.Also Aaron Judge Jersey , he feels healthiest he has been in years this spring.The only negative is Zack doesn’t seem to like the pomp of opening day.Robbie Ray could do it.Diamondbacks Still Sorting Out Opening Day BatteryThe opening day catcher is still up in the air as well.If it is Greinke, he will get the catcher he wants, but that certainly does not mean his catcher will be the true “starter”.As the season plays out, we will have a better idea of who catches the most.Related: Decision Coming Soon on Zack Grienke’s Personal CatcherAround MLBPositional Power Rankings: First BaseFangraphs has Freddie Freeman of the Braves just ahead of Goldy and the Cardinals.The Diamondbacks are ranked 18th.Why do I feel like crying all the time?
