For Delta’s MD-90 Operations
Taiwan’s EVA Air is planning to reduce its freighter fleet and phase out its MD-90 passenger aircraft. President Austin Cheng says all 11 of the MD-90s are being sold to Delta Air Lines, with five scheduled to be transferred next year, three more in 2015 and the last three in 2016. Delta repeatedly has espoused the benefits of operating MD-90s and earlier this month said it intended to expand the fleet.

I was doing some research. I see EVA AIR operates 5 MD90s and 6 MD90s are leased to Uni Air, which appears to be a feeder for EVA AIR. So the 11 total MD90s are there. I just have to see if I can find an article that says they are being phased out.
EVA Interested In 777X And 787-10
Very last line says they are phasing the MD90s out.
