Analysis: Nuño is a versatile left-handed relief pitcher that has bounced around – the Dodgers will be his fourth team in five seasons.

He has shown versatility and the ability to start in the past, and will be replacing J.P. Howell, the effective lefty who signed with the Toronto Blue Jays after a solid four-year run with the Dodgers.

It is a strong, if not certain, acquisition for the Dodgers who jettisoned the player acquired in the A.J. Ellis deal for a shot at Nuño, a Southern California native.
