Nuno traded to D-backs

Vidal Nuno
Former Wild Things pitcher Vidal Nuno has been traded by the New York Yankees to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for pitcher Brandon McCarthy.

Nuno, 26, moved into the Yankess' starting rotation this year when C.C. Sabathia was lost for the season with an injury. In 14 starts, Nuno had a 2-5 record and 5.42 ERA. It’s unknown if Nuno will be a starter or a lefty relief pitcher for the Diamondbacks.

McCarthy will be 31 Monday. He is 3-10 with a 5.01 ERA and will be a free agent after the season. McCarthy has a career record of 45-60.

One thing I do know is Arizona has been inquiring about Nuno for more than a week.

Changes in the rotation coming soon. One experiment failed, on to the next one. Looks like Elrod's time to start again

Bart Zeller said in a pregame radio interview last week that Phelan told him he simply didn't have the desire to play anymore, so he was put on the suspended list in case he changed his mind. That's odd when you consider he had five wins when he quit.
