Nova was traded to the Pirates on Monday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has struggled over the past two seasons, but he's a low-cost rental -- Nova's a free agent after this season -- and represents an upgrade at the back end of the Pirates' rotation. Nova's biggest problem this season has been the long ball, as he's given up at least one homer in 14 of his last 15 appearances, and PNC Park may help mitigate those issues to some extent.
