Dodgers Sign Vidal Nuno III To Minors Contract

By Mark Polishuk | June 12, 2021 at 9:19pm CDT

The Dodgers have signed left-hander Vidal Nuno III to a minor league contract, according to Triple-A Oklahoma City’s communications director and broadcaster Alex Freedman (Twitter link).

This is technically Nuno’s second stint with the Dodgers, Freeman notes, since Los Angeles originally acquired the southpaw in a trade with the Mariners in November 2016.  Nuno never appeared in a game for the Dodgers, however, as he was flipped to the Orioles in another swap in February 2017.

A veteran of six MLB seasons from 2013-18, Nuno has a 4.06 ERA/3.97 SIERA, 19.6% strikeout rate, and 13% strikeout/walk rate over 377 innings, working out of the bullpen in 113 of his 155 career games.  Never a hard-thrower or a big strikeout pitcher, Nuno relied on a five-pitch arsenal and soft contact to retire his fair share of batters.

Nuno signed minor league deals with the Nationals and Rays in 2019 but didn’t receive another call-up back to the Show.  After not pitching during the canceled 2020 minor league season, Nuno landed with Tijuana of the Mexican League this year, pitching two games for the Toros.

      Should it be ‘III am one of them’ or ‘I am one of three’?

      As a Junior myself, I feel like suffixes have completely gotten out of hand in the NFL. Everyone’s got a “IV” or “V” on their jersey, or worst of all, “Sr.” just to say “I am a father!!”

    At first glance at his name, my thoughts went to Dodgers legends Ismael Valdes and Hideo Nomo

    Do not leave your seat if he gets the ball in his hand.
    He pitches like he’s double parked on a parade route.

    so what is the Mexican League’s association with MLB now that it’s not a AAA circuit. does it actually function as an indy circuit as BBREF suggests?

    Even with his disturbing 10.43 ERA for the Orioles in 2017, it wasn’t even the worst on the team as Tanner Scott and a beardless Richard Rodriguez had worse

      what’s weird too about that year was how extreme of an outlier it was in his career.

      That seems to happen when you pitch for Baltimore
