US EditionSox agree to 5-year contract with left-handed pitcher Ranger Suárez
- Jan 21, 2026 — The Boston Red Sox finalized left-handed pitcher Ranger Suárez's five-year, $130 million contract running through the 2030 season.
- After being outbid for Alex Bregman by the Chicago Cubs, the Boston Red Sox pursued Ranger Suárez, a recent All-Star and full-time rotation starter since 2022.
- Under the contract, Suárez receives a $3 million signing bonus and salaries of $7 million this year, $15 million in 2027, $30 million in 2028 and 2029, and $35 million in 2030.
- Because Suárez turned down a $22,025,000 qualifying offer, Boston forfeits its second- and fifth-highest July draft selections and $1 million in international signing bonus in 2027, with Philadelphia receiving an extra pick.
- Suárez posted 12-8 and a 3.20 ERA in 26 starts in 2025, setting career highs, and is 4-1 with a 1.48 ERA in 11 postseason games despite three injured list stints.
