Pitcher Ivan Nova was signed to a minor league contract on the same day as the J.T. Realmuto signing was announced, so his addition to the list of non-roster pitchers may have flown under the radar. An 11-year veteran, Nova is best known for his years with the Yankees (2010-2016) and he appeared in 4 games last season with the Tigers. He's been a starter most of his career and actually led the American League in games started in 2019 with 34. He'll either find himself as the team's fifth or sixth starter or provide Triple-A depth in Lehigh Valley.
The next three pitchers showed up on the team's transaction page over the past few weeks, but their signings were made official on Tuesday. Bryan Mitchell last pitched in the majors in 2018 with the Padres, and he's also a former Yankee, having appeared in 48 games with the club between 2014 and 2017. David Paulino has pitched in 16 major league games with the Astros and Blue Jays between 2016 and 2018. And finally, Hector Rondon got an invite and the hope is that he's in the mix for one of the open bullpen spots. Rondon has 92 career saves to his name and won a World Series ring with the Cubs in 2016. He appeared in 23 games last season for the Diamondbacks.
