Nathan Eovaldi Declines $20M Rangers Contract Option; Texas Interested in New Deal

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi declined his $20 million player option for the 2025 season on Monday, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.

Per Grant, Rangers general manager Chris Young says the team still has "great interest" in retaining Eovaldi.

The 34-year-old joined Texas as a free agent in Dec. 2022, signing a two-year contract worth $34 million along with the vested player option. He made the second All-Star appearance of his career in 2023 with the Rangers.
