BOSTON, MA – The Boston Red Sox today announced the signing of left‑handed pitcher Ranger Suárez to a five‑year contract through the 2030 season, including a mutual option for 2031. With the move, Boston’s 40‑man roster is now full.
Suárez, 30, is coming off a standout 2025 campaign with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he made 26 starts and went 12–8 with a 3.20 ERA (56 ER/157.1 IP). He set career highs in strikeouts (151), innings pitched, and quality starts (17). His 4.0 FanGraphs WAR tied for the sixth‑highest mark among National League pitchers, and he ranked seventh in ERA among NL arms with at least 150 innings. Suárez also excelled in contact management, finishing in MLB’s 98th percentile in hard‑hit rate (31.1%) and 95th percentile in average exit velocity (86.5 mph).
Originally signed by Philadelphia as an international free agent in April 2012, the Venezuela native spent his entire Major League career with the Phillies from 2018–25. Across 187 career games (119 starts), he has gone 53–37 with a 3.38 ERA (286 ER/762.0 IP) and 705 strikeouts. Suárez was named a National League All‑Star in 2024 and earned the 2022 Fielding Bible Award for pitchers.
Suárez has been one of baseball’s most dominant postseason performers. In 11 career playoff appearances (eight starts), he owns a 4–1 record, 1.48 ERA (7 ER/42.2 IP), 44 strikeouts, and a .203 opponent average. He has allowed one or zero earned runs in 10 of those 11 outings, including five scoreless innings in Game 3 of the 2022 World Series against Houston. During the 2025 postseason, he earned the win in Game 3 of the NLDS with five innings of one‑run relief in Philadelphia’s 8–2 victory over Los Angeles.
