Of all the free agents exploring their markets this offseason, Nathan Eovaldi is perhaps the most interesting to analyze and predict. Coming off a tremendous bounce-back season in which he pitched to a 3.81 ERA in 111.0 frames (including 22.1 innings of 1.81 ERA ball in the playoffs), he’s considerably raised his stock as a free agent and seems poised to get a decently large contract this winter. The question now is, who will he sign with?
The answer to that question may soon become a little clearer, as Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wrote Friday that the Blue Jays, Brewers, Phillies, Braves, White Sox, Red Sox, Angels, Padres and Giants are the “early suitors” to sign Eovaldi.
