Nathan Eovaldi is here to stay! The Boston Red Sox agreed to terms on a deal that will keep the postseason hero in town for the next few years.
The contract is a four-year, $67.5 million deal, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
That works out to an average annual value of $16.875 million per year, which currently projects Eovaldi to be the 22nd highest paid starting pitcher in the majors next season. Some of the remaining free agents, or perhaps even arbitration eligible starters, could top that figure. However, we can expect Eovaldi to end up as one of the top 30 highest paid starters in a 30 team league.
