"According to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, the Red Sox have reportedly signed lefty Ranger Suarez to a five-year contract worth $130 million - with no deferrals or opt-outs. The 30-year-old southpaw has been one of the more reliable starters in the National League over the last few seasons, and figures to be the next man up in Boston's rotation after Garrett Crochet."
"Suarez's eighth season in Philadelphia was the best of his career, with the lefty sporting a 12-8 record with a 3.20 ERA, 1.220 WHIP and 151 strikeouts over 157.1 innings of work. He may not boast swing-and-miss stuff, but Suarez excels at eliciting weak contact at the plate and limiting home runs. Despite pitching for a majority of his career at the hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, the veteran has allowed just 0.8 home runs per nine innings of his career."
Ranger Suarez signed a five-year, $130 million contract with the Boston Red Sox with no deferrals or opt-outs. The 30-year-old left-hander projects as Boston's No. 2 starter behind Garrett Crochet. Suarez posted a 12-8 record with a 3.20 ERA, 1.220 WHIP and 151 strikeouts over 157.1 innings in 2025. He induces weak contact, limits home runs (0.8 HR/9 career) despite pitching at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, and posted a career-best 5.8 percent walk rate in 2025. The addition bolsters a rotation that already includes Crochet, Sonny Gray, Brayan Bello, and Johan Oviedo, with the fifth starter slot still undecided.
