MLB Rumors: Nathan Eovaldi, Rangers Agree to New Contract amid Mets, Braves Buzz
Veteran pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is returning for a third season with the Texas Rangers.
Eovaldi, who played a key role in the Rangers' 2023 World Series victory, agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract to stay in Texas, according to FanSided's Robert Murray and ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The right-hander previously declined a $20 million vesting option that would have kept him with the Rangers through the 2025 season.
Eovaldi played the last two seasons on a two-year deal worth an average salary of $16 million, with a $2 million signing bonus and other extras including $4.5 million in innings pitched bonuses, per Spotrac.
