Red Sox Rumors: Free agent Nathan Eovaldi drawing interest as a closer
Some teams are rumored to be viewing Boston Red Sox free agent pitcher Nathan Eovaldi as a potential option to fill their closer role.
Nathan Eovaldi did it all for the Boston Red Sox this season, performing as a starter in the rotation and as a reliever. He’s proven to have the versatility to fill a variety of different roles yet one he’s never been tested in is the closer role. However, a resume devoid of any career saves hasn’t stopped some clubs from viewing the free agent pitcher as a potential ninth-inning solution.
WEEI’s Rob Bradford reports that multiple teams have expressed interest in signing Eovaldi with the intention of making him their closer.
