Dana Eveland Opts Out Of Red Sox Contract

By Steve Adams | June 3, 2015 at 9:39pm CDT

Left-hander Dana Eveland has opted out of his minor league contract with the Red Sox, tweets SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo. The Page Odle/PSI Sports Management client is now a free agent.

The 31-year-old Eveland returned to Major League Baseball last season after spending the 2013 campaign pitching for the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization. His return to MLB was a successful one, as he made 30 appearances with the Mets and worked to a 2.63 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 in 27 1/3 innings. Despite that solid performance, Eveland settled for a minor league contract this past offseason. He’s pitched quite well in 23 1/3 innings at Triple-A Pawtucket this season, compiling a 1.54 ERA with 20 strikeouts and three walks.

Eveland’s big league track record is spotty, but he’s performed well in his past three stints between the Mets, Dodgers and Orioles. As I noted at the time of his signing with Boston, Eveland replaced his four-seamer with a two-seam fastball and more sliders than ever last season, and the results were positive. Given his recent success, Eveland seems likely to find another minor league deal with a clearer path to the Majors, or perhaps a more lucrative gig overseas, if he’s open to pitching in Asia for a second time.

    He was buried at Pawtucket. Looked decent in few games I saw him in the the pawsox on Milb, but the fact the sox never recalled him and kept Ross on the train from Boston to Pawtucket and the ineffective Breslow on the 25 man roster meant they figure Evelend never figured into their plans and Layne has been 100% effective vs LH hitters anyway for them.

    Hopefully some other team can find a place for him. Another Rich Hill type.

      Heard he was the centerpiece of the Hamels deal.

        How long did it take to come up with that gem?

        No, that’s what they picked up De Aza for.

        Why do you feel the need to write on Red Sox articles just to poke fun with a lame joke? Seriously, it adds nothing to the conversation, and makes you come off as unintelligent.

          Comments like wooltron and sickles don’t advance conversation and only polarize views. They are trollz comments and should be removed. Over the past few years this place has become more and more a Hate-on-Red Sox site. It used to be a serious MLB discussion site. Sad.

          If you look at his history of commenting, that’s pretty much all he has done in 2 years. I doubt he has anything to add to the conversation.

      The Braves make a lot of sense. As a Met he wasn’t flashy, but he was serviceable. I doubt he’d take a MiLB deal from the Mets, but I’d think he’d be good depth for them (as you can never have enough pitching).

        Why would he return to the Mets? They discarded him after a good season.

          Baseball is a business. He’d probably have interest elsewhere, but plenty of players go back to teams that cut/dumped them.

            Just don’t see it being in his first 25 choices.

              haha…fair enough. I think the Mets have a bright future, but he needs to do what is best for him.

    Dave, pick up the phone. The Tigers bullpen is smoke and mirrors. Don’t wait for the illusion to end before doing something.
