After more than a decade in MLB as a pitcher and two strong World Series championships, Nathan Eovaldi will finally enter free agency following his last season with the Texas Rangers, where he won one of his most recent rings.
Eovaldi’s two recent World Series titles include the 2023 championship with the Rangers, during which he pitched in Games 1 and 5. In Game 5, he played a pivotal role, holding the opponent scoreless and sealing the championship in Arizona.
Eovaldi’s first World Series win came with the Boston Red Sox in 2018 under manager Alex Cora. He appeared in three World Series games that year, helping the Red Sox win the title in five games with a 4-1 record over the Dodgers.
With the New York Yankees, Eovaldi didn’t win a championship but had an impressive first season in 2015, posting a 14-3 record and a 2.93 ERA. Unfortunately, his season was cut short by an elbow injury, which continued to trouble him the next year, leading to a 9-8 record before his release in 2017.
