Red Sox Pursue Free-Agent Nathan Eovaldi

The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking to bolster their starting rotation this offseason, with a focus on top-tier pitchers such as Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell, and Max Fried. They have also shown interest in reuniting with Nathan Eovaldi, who became a free agent after declining his option with the Texas Rangers, following a successful postseason in which he helped Texas secure the World Series title. Meanwhile, the Houston Astros are looking to improve their outfield, potentially targeting Chicago White Sox star Luis Robert Jr. as they prepare to address weaknesses in their lineup after a challenging season. The Astros' lack of top young talent may complicate trade negotiations with the White Sox, who seek controllable prospects. Additionally, the Red Sox are exploring options to strengthen their middle lineup, with Houston's Alex Bregman emerging as a surprising candidate despite recent struggles and a high contract demand. As the offseason progresses, both teams are navigating the market for impactful acquisitions.
