Red Sox sign Ranger Suarez to $130 million deal
The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a big contract with a pitcher named Ranger Suarez.
He will play for them for the next five years, and they will pay him $130 million.
Suarez is a good pitcher who has played for the Philadelphia Phillies for a long time.
He is known for being consistent and having a lot of different pitches.
Even though his fastball is not as fast as it used to be, he has been doing better and better each year.
The Red Sox are excited to have him because he will help make their team stronger.
The Phillies will get a special pick in next year's draft because Suarez is leaving.
The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a 5-year, $130 million contract with left-hander Ranger Suarez.
Suarez has a career 3.38 ERA and 705 strikeouts in 762 innings, known for his diverse six-pitch mix.
His fastball velocity has declined but his performance has improved, with a 3.20 ERA in 2025.
The Phillies will receive a compensatory draft pick after the fourth round in the 2026 MLB Draft.
Suarez brings postseason experience, including a 1.48 ERA in 11 playoff appearances with the Phillies.
