Orioles acquire Vidal Nuno from Dodgers
Vidal Nuno's tenure with the Los Angeles Dodgers looks to have lasted just four months, as the club has shipped the southpaw to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for minor-league right-hander Ryan Moseley, the teams announced Sunday.
Los Angeles acquired Nuno from the Seattle Mariners in November in exchange for backstop Carlos Ruiz.
Nuno, a left-hander with experience in the bullpen and in the starting rotation, crafted a 3.53 ERA in 55 games with Seattle last season, making one start with the club. In four MLB seasons, Nuno owns a career 4.02 ERA in stints with the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Mariners.
Moseley, an eighth-round pick by the Orioles in the 2016 draft, posted a 3.20 ERA in 12 games in Single-A in 2016.
To make room for Nuno on the 40-man roster, Baltimore designated T.J. McFarland for assignment.
