Phillies’ Ranger Suarez Predicted to Make North of $25 Million Per Year in Free Agency<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez is in a contract year. He’s set to hit free agency for the first time in his career after the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

With plenty of teams likely to be interested, even if he’s not the top option, Suarez is set to make a solid payday. In a segment on The Phillies Show, former general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. predicted a massive deal was on the horizon for Suarez in free agency.<\/p>\n

“I think his AAV will be somewhere between $25 and $28 million.\u00a0$25 and $30 million,” Amaro said. “So maybe a shorter deal and get the higher AAV so he can say ‘hey, bigger AAV than somebody else.'”<\/p>\n

This is a significant upgrade in average annual value for Suarez. He was previously predicted to land a $20 million deal, but this prediction from Amaro is at least $5 million more than before.<\/p>\n

But there’s a reason for his increase in per-year value. Amaro believes that teams are concerned about Suarez’s health.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think anyone is going to give him the length,” Amaro said. “The seven-year deal, the eight-year deal. I don’t think they’re going to do that because of the history.”<\/p>\n

Due to Suarez’s health issues over the past few years, teams might be scared off from offering a long-term deal. Instead, Suarez could land a shorter deal with a lot more money per year.<\/p>\n

If Amaro’s prediction comes true, a massive payday would be on the horizon for Suarez, despite his concerning back injuries in recent years.<\/p>\n

While the back injuries are an issue, his production on the mound is why teams would be willing to pay north of $20 million per year for Suarez.<\/p>\n

He has a 2.00 ERA through 11 starts, which includes a disastrous seven-earned run outing in his first start back from the injured list. Since then, he has been one of baseball’s best pitchers, as he has a 1.19 ERA in ten starts.<\/p>\n

In the next few months, the Phillies must determine whether they want to cough up the money required to keep Suarez as part of their impressive rotation.<\/p>\n
