Red Sox Showing Interest In Nathan Eovaldi Reunion

I'm certainly in.  No idea what he's going to command on the market or who else would be in on him, though.

This was probably the wrong year to opt out for Eovaldi.  But as he turns 35 in January, I understand his urgency.

But he’s clearly behind Burnes, Fried, Snell, and probably Sasaki.  And I can see Nate, Flaherty, Buehler, Kikuchi, Manaea, Pivetta, Martinez, and Severino and probably another name or two ranked in multiple ways that both benefit and disadvantage him.

 

Maybe he just doesn't like the direction of the Rangers and figures he can get similar $$$ for a team he'd rather play for? 

It was also stated that he took less to go to the Rangers as he initially turned down a larger Sox offer to stay. Maybe he's just kind of a dumbass?

I thought he came back to the Sox about that original offer and Bloom told him it was now off the table.  I will refrain from judging which one was the dumbass.

He had more money on the table and walked away to get a smaller contract. He came crawling back with his tail between his legs asking if the Sox would give him the previous offer and they said "no, we gave it to Kluber." It was a Three Stooges episode between Bloom, Eovaldi and his agent. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

His agent wasn't Curly -- that was Shemp, with his hair in his eyes.

I believe Shemp was an OG Stooge.
