The Pittsburgh have a filled a hole in their starting rotation, agreeing to a three year, $26 million contract with Ivan Nova.

Nova, 29, went 5-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 11 starts (64 2/3 innings) with the Pirates last season. He posted an excellent K/BB ratio of 52/3.

The Pirates made multiple offers to Nova since September with the two sides finally finding middle ground this week.
