This reliability has drawn the attention of postseason teams like the Braves and Orioles, as noted by MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
With Max Fried expected to leave the Braves through free agency, Eovaldi could be a strong replacement. Likewise, the Orioles are preparing for the potential loss of ace Corbin Burnes and are exploring options to strengthen their rotation.
Even as he approaches his mid-30s, Eovaldi continues to be a sought-after asset for contenders.
