A person familiar with the deal says veteran right-hander and Texas native Nathan Eovaldi has agreed to a two-year contract with the Rangers. The deal includes a vesting option for an additional season. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t finalized and the club hadn’t announced the move. Eovaldi, who was born in Houston, has pitched for five teams over 11 big league seasons. He spent the past 4 1/2 seasons with the Boston Red Sox. Texas earlier this month signed two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob DeGrom to a $185 million, five-year deal.
