In other Revolution moves, right handed pitcher Franklin Nunez was signed by the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday, August 26 and assigned to Triple-A Nashville.

Nunez joined the Revolution in Spring Training and served as the team’s closer for most of the season. He was 1-0 with a 2.76 ERA and 12 saves. Most recently he saved both games of the Road Warriors doubleheader on August 22.

He was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent by the L.A. Dodgers in 1994, and has pitched in the Dodgers, Phillies, Mets, Devil Rays and Braves organizations. Baseball America rated him as having the Eastern League's best fastball in 2001.

“We wish both Jeff and Franklin the best as both start new chapters in their baseball careers,” said York Revolution General Manager Matt O’Brien.
