    Nunez sets sights on rare 80-steal milestone

    With 49 steals leading all of MLB and only 10 caught-stealing on the year, Nunez declared his goal of reaching 80 steals for the season. Since 1900, 80 steals has only been reached 23 times; nobody in the 2000s has achieved it, with Jose Reyes' 78 in 2007 being the closest.

    “I'm going to get my 80.”
