The veteran righty is staying put in Texas after signing a new deal with the team. Eovaldi is coming off another strong season for the Rangers after posting a 3.80 ERA through 170.2 innings pitched, giving up 147 hits while striking out 166 batters.
His 1.107 WHIP last season was a career low in a full season's worth of play, letting everyone know the aging veteran still has some left in the tank.
Eovaldi is yet another starting pitcher to go off of the free agent board recently, with Max Fried signing to the New York Yankees today and Blake Snell recently signing to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Rangers pitcher will be entering his 14th season of his career. The Texas native and two-time All-Star will likely end his career close to his home in Houston.
Eovaldi has a career 4.07 ERA with a shocking 1,571 hits giving up in 1,572.1 innings pitched and was part of the Rangers team that won the World Series in 2023.
