Nova seeks new start with White Sox, in need of staff leader
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Ivan Nova didn't expect to be traded last offseason. But now that he's with the Chicago White Sox, he knows where he fits into the team's plans — to make 30 starts and be a mentor, if needed.
"If I've got to approach somebody, I'll do it my way," Nova said Wednesday at White Sox camp.
White Sox still waiting for Manny Machado
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Chicago White Sox opened spring training still waiting for Manny Machado.
"We'll just see when it happens," first baseman Yonder Alonso, Machado's brother-in-law, said Wednesday.
Machado, among the offseason's top free agents, still hasn't agreed to a deal. Alonso spoke with the All-Star infielder on Tuesday.
McCutchen on the move, other deals percolate at meetings
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Andrew McCutchen moving into Philadelphia's outfield, more talk about a megadeal involving Noah Syndergaard and J.T. Realmuto and veteran pitcher Ivan Nova on the go.
The winter meetings picked up a bit Tuesday, but any big deals for the likes of Corey Kluber, Manny Machado and Bryce Harper remained on deck.
Pitcher Ivan Nova acquired by White Sox from Pirates
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Right-hander Ivan Nova was acquired by the Chicago White Sox from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday for minor league pitcher Yordi Rosario and $500,000 in international signing bonus pool allocation.
A 31-year-old right-hander, Nova was 9-9 with a 4.19 ERA in 29 starts this season, striking out 114 in 161 innings. He is 78-64 with a 4.26 ERA in nine seasons with the New York Yankees (2010-16) and Pirates (2016-18).
Brewers now 2 1/2 games behind Cubs with 3-1 loss to Pirates
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Zach Davies couldn't hold an early lead and it proved costly to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Davies gave up a go-ahead double to Francisco Cervelli in the fourth inning that lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-2 win over the Brewers on Saturday night.
Milwaukee lost for just the fourth time in 15 games and dropped 2 1/2 games behind the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs. The Brewers' lead for the NL's top wild card was cut to three games over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Bell, Nova lead Pirates over Marlins 5-1 for 5th win in row
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Josh Bell has homered in consecutive games following three days off. He doesn't think it's a coincidence.
"I was able to kind of reflect a little bit," Bell said. "Take a step back, watch some baseball, get some work done in the cages and get back to the basics."
The switch-hitting first baseman combined with Ivan Nova, who got his first victory in a month, to help the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Miami Marlins 5-1 Saturday for their fifth consecutive win.

Pirates hit 3 HRs to back Nova in 10-5 win over Giants
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ivan Nova had little problem extending Pittsburgh's streak of strong road starts.
Three home runs, including a milestone shot by David Freese, gave the right-hander all the cushion he needed.
Nova allowed two runs in six innings, Freese hit his 100th career home run, and the Pirates beat the San Francisco Giants 10-5 on Thursday night.
Harper sits, Nova hit, Doolittle blows save; Nats top Bucs
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sean Doolittle pounded his left fist against his right palm while discussing his first blown save in 22 chances since joining the Washington Nationals.
The good news for Doolittle and the Nationals: This misstep came in a meaningless game. Better now than late next week, when Washington is facing the reigning World Series champion Chicago Cubs in an NL Division Series.
Molina, Wacha lead Cardinals past Pirates
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina's teammates could tell their All-Star catcher was not happy.
After taking a fastball from Ivan Nova high and tight, Molina hit the next pitch for a three-run homer to help the St. Louis Cardinal beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-0 on Sunday.
"Everyone knows don't mess with Yadi," St. Louis infielder Kolten Wong said. "After that, you could tell he's (ticked) off. He took it out on the baseball."
Frazier HR, 3 hits, Pirates top Cards 6-4 to end 6-game skid
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Adam Frazier and the Pittsburgh Pirates finished off a win at PNC Park, then packed their bags for a trip — to another home game about 200 miles away.
Frazier homered, doubled and singled to help the Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 Saturday, ending a six-game losing streak in a matchup delayed nearly two hours by rain.
On Sunday morning, both teams will fly to central Pennsylvania to play in the Little League Classic later that night in Williamsport.
