Nate Eovaldi reportedly agrees...

According to a person familiar with the transaction, veteran right-hander Nathan Eovaldi has agreed to a two-year contract with the Rangers that includes a vesting option for an extra season. The source talked to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Tuesday night because the agreement had not been finalized and the club had not publicized the transfer. Eovaldi, who was born in Houston, has thrown for five different teams in his 11 major league seasons. He spent the previous four and a half seasons with the Boston Red Sox. After an All-Star season in 2021 in which he was 11-9 with a 3.75 ERA in 32 starts, he was 6-3 with a 3.87 ERA in 20 starts in 2022.The Rangers signed two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob DeGrom to a $185 million, five-year contract earlier this month. Texas also signed free agent Andrew Heaney to a two-year, $25 million contract, acquired Jake Odorizzi in a trade with Atlanta, and kept All-Star left-hander Martin Pérez with a $19.65 million qualifying offer. The Rangers signed right-hander Jon Gray to a four-year, $56 million contract last winter, at the same time they added Corey Seager and Marcus Semien to their half-billion-dollar middle infield.
