During the postseason, Boston Red Sox RHP Nathan Eovaldi demonstrated what could be a best-case scenario for Philadelphia Phillies righty Nick Pivetta – a legitimate middle-of-the-rotation option for a World Series contender that’s also capable of throwing smoke out of the bullpen when called upon.
While the Red Sox World Series run may have given the Phillies a blueprint on how to handle Pivetta moving forward, it appears they are also interested in the pitcher that provided said blueprint.
According to Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe, general manager Matt Klentak and the Phillies are among a large group of teams interested in Eovaldi, a free-agent:
The early suitors are the Brewers, Phillies, Braves, Angels, Red Sox, White Sox, Blue Jays, Padres, and Giants.
