Left-hander Ranger Suarez will be entering free agency after another solid year for the Philadelphia Phillies. For the season, Suarez put up an ERA of 3.20 for Philadelphia, making 26 starts for the team.

The Phillies have a few crucial players entering free agency this winter, and it could see Saurez be the odd man out. Many around the league see Philadelphia prioritizing other players, and this could open the door for Suarez to depart the team.

The veteran has been crucial to the success of the Phillies over the years, but it may be time to move on. Over the last couple of years, the fastball for Suarez has started to dip, and this could be a cause for concern.

However, the lefty has still found ways to dominate on the mound, including having a combined ERA of 3.59 in 104 starts for this team over the past few years. Suarez is seen more as a backend starter, rather than a frontline guy, and this could see teams that don’t want to spend massively go after him.

The veteran is expected to draw interest from a few teams, including the Phillies. But whether he returns to Philadelphia remains up in the air at this point.

This is just a prediction, NOT a report!

Ranger Suarez Leaves Phillies, Joins Detroit Tigers

One team that could be gearing up for a run at Suarez is the Detroit Tigers. Detroit is seen by many around baseball as a team that could be ready to spend some money this offseason, but how that comes about remains a big question mark.

The Tigers came within one game of the American League Championship Series, and it could have the front office looking to add talent. Detroit could use another arm for the starting rotation, and Suarez may be the perfect fit for this team.

Since he isn’t an ace, but more of a middle-of-the-pack starter, he could fit in well with the Tigers. Detroit is already led by ace Tarik Skubal, so Suarez would just need to slot in toward the backend of the rotation.

This could give the Tigers a legitimate starting pitching rotation, with Skubal, Jack Flaherty, and Suarez being the top three. The three pitchers could help Detroit make another run next season, and teams would be fearful of this group.

Suarez would also give the Tigers some insurance in case Skubal is either traded or leaves in free agency next year. There have been all sorts of rumors around his future with the franchise, so adding Suarez could help things for the team.

Overall, the Tigers have all the tools to win a World Series next season, but they do need to address some holes on the roster. Suarez would fill the pitching issue, and he could be a solid signing, especially since the Tigers aren’t likely to spend at the top of the free agent market.
