Yankees Shopping Ivan Nova

By Zach Links | December 22, 2015 at 2:13pm CDT

The Yankees have let opposing teams know that Ivan Nova is available via trade, according to George A. King III of the New York Post.  It’s not surprising that Nova is being made available after a rough 2015 and it’s also not surprising to hear that there isn’t great interest in him at this time.

“They are offering him out there, but I don’t know if there’s any takers,’’ an executive said of the right-hander.

It’s hard to envision a team giving up a ton for the 29-year-old since he’s a year away from free agency and coming off a season that was cut short by recovery from Tommy John surgery.  Nova logged just 94 innings with an unsightly 5.07 ERA, averaging 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 a club could try and pounce if the Yankees are willing to lower the asking price enough.  Nova produced strong results in both 2011 and 2013 and projects to earn a not totally unreasonable $4.4MM salary in 2016.  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 rate in 139 1/3 innings of work.  It should also be noted that for all of his struggles, Nova averaged 93 mph on his fastball in 2015 — the same mark he averaged in 2013 and a bit faster than his 2011 average.

It remains to be seen what the Yankees will look to get in return for Nova at this stage of the offseason, but it was said that they were not willing to sell low back in November.

    Can’t imagine they’d get anything for him, might as well keep him for depth which is what they need

      How about Nova and Gardner to the Nats for Ross and Storen.

    Probably wouldn’t get much more than a middle reliever. For a team with pitching questions, it’s probably best they hold on to him.

      Streamer has Nova at projected 0.8 WAR next season, similar to Teheran, Sabathia, and Shields. He could be a cheap alternative for a 5th starter. I would think he could be traded for a good middle reliever which is what Cashman is looking for.

    I’d imagine the pirates would be interested. either a salary swap or a depth minors player probably about as far as they would go though.

    I think the Yanks have said he’s available but I can’t see them “shopping” him. There’s not much value at this point and I think Cashman is smart enough to know that.

    Maybe they get one high upside guy from the lower minors for him.

    Better to keep him for depth. The projected rotation is fragile. They’ll need his arm. Who knows, maybe he does very well on the cusp of free agency.

    BREAKING- Reds trade Aroldis Chapman to Nationals for Dusty Baker. Dusty Baker then was immediately flipped to the Yankees for Ivan Nova, NYY then traded Baker to the Giants for Matt Cain, Joe Panik, Matt Duffy, and Skeeter.

    Twins should trade Ricky Nolasco for Ivan Nova. Yanks get a good bounceback candidate and the Twins shed salary and could use Nova in the pen as a long reliever or in the rotation as a spot starter.

    Hill will hopefully bounce back, nova will have more time since his tj surgery so if a team only gave a reliever it could be a steal

    How about an even up swap with the Braves for Jason Grilli, 1yr/3.5 with 3.0 option for 2017.

    Cardinals will take him for a bucket of balls if the Yankees eat the contract as well. If not, a bucket of big league will be suffice.

    Can’t believe the Yankees are doing nothing this off season. Perhaps they realize nothing is going to make them competitive this season? Severino has ace stuff but other than him is there any pitcher that frightens major league hitters. They walk to the plate with a smile on their face when going up against CC
