Texas Rangers reportedly sign former All-Star pitcher Nathan Eovaldi: "Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers are in agreement on a contract"

Former Boston Red Sox star pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has reportedly agreed to terms on a contract with the Texas Rangers. Eovaldi was an All-Star in 2021 and is still capable of being dominant when healthy. He was injured during the 2022 season, but should be ready for the 2023 season.

The Rangers have been surprisingly aggressive this season as they look to gain ground in the American League East. This is no easy task considering the powerhouse teams that share their division in the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners.

News of this reported contract agreement was posted to Twitter by MLB insider Robert Murray.

Earlier this offseason, the Rangers made headlines by signing former New York Mets star pitcher Jacob deGrom. They have now added one of the best pitchers left available to join deGrom. It is a strong pairing that could prove capable of shutting down some of the league's best offenses.
