Daily Red Sox Links: Nathan Eovaldi, Dustin Pedroia, Steve Pearce
Forget about Manny Machado and Bryce Barper. Nathan Eovaldi is the most interesting free agent this winter. Plus Dustin Pedroia’s return and too much pressure for Rafael Devers. Nathan Eovaldi is the rare free agent that every team is willing to go after. In a real way, he is a MLB free agency myth. (Jeff Sullivan; FanGraphs) Here’s some great news for you. All signs point to Dustin Pedroia being back for the beginning of next year. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe) Steve Pearce already won everybody in Boston over and they did the same for him.

On Monday, MLB Network Radio’s Casey Stern urged the Phils not to sign both stars, either. Their argument? That the Phillies are more than two superstars away from contention, and/or that signing both would kill their...
