Just a few days after losing out on Alex Bregman in free agency, the Red Sox landed a legitimate No. 2 starter with their first major-league signing of the offseason.
According to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, the Red Sox have reportedly signed lefty Ranger Suarez to a five-year contract worth $130 million — with no deferrals or opt-outs.
The 30-year-old southpaw has been one of the more reliable starters in the National League over the last few seasons, and figures to be the next man up in Boston’s rotation after Garrett Crochet.
