Another Nunez to talk about!
;D ;D ;D

I like the return; especially Nunez

He may replace Hayes at third with his power

A young first base prospect with some power. Could be a good pick-up.

Nunez has made 63 starts at 1st this year versus 8 at third. Previous seasons, he was almost all third baseman

Yeah Buddy! Malcom looks Good

Stratton also part of deal per MLB Trade Rumors

Just by adding players from the Cardinals organization, the overall fundamentals of the Pittsburgh Pirates has improved. I hope Oviedo and Nunez are asked to do some coaching, too.

I don't think Oviedo is much. Nunez has potential but if St.L. thought he would become a stud, I don't think they would have traded him within the division and not for possibly just a 2-month rental of Quintana and a year of Stratton. OTOH, Nunez doesn't have to be stud to be a fair return for 2 months of Quintana (he would not have returned to the Pirates next year) and a year of Stratton. If he can become a power bat even in a platoon situation (his minor league splits are very good vs LHP) it'll be a good trade.

What does the Nunez addition say for Mason Martin's future? I'm guessing he may be done.
