Fortunately, not long after losing Bregman, the Red Sox bounced back. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Boston has signed Ranger Suarez to a $130 million, five-year deal.

After watching Alex Bregman leave town for the Chicago Cubs, the Boston Red Sox made a huge splash with their first move in free agency on Wednesday, reportedly agreeing to a five-year, $130 million contract with starting pitcher Ranger Suarez.

In the span of a week, the Boston Red Sox whiffed on signing Alex Bregman only to make a dramatic pivot in bolstering their rotation even further by signing Ranger Suárez to the largest free-agent contract under chief baseball officer Craig Breslow.

If the Boston Red Sox are going to make any more major additions to their lineup via free agency, they need to act fast because the list of available position players is drying up quickly.

The Boston Red Sox should consider trading for this player following their Ranger Suarez free agency addition.

The Boston Red Sox quickly pivoted from losing Alex Bregman by landing a starter with a strong postseason track record.

At full strength the Red Sox have more starting-caliber outfielders than they have available lineup spots, but the club’s leaders indicated they likely won’t resort to one stopgap

After bolstering their starting rotation and batting lineup, the Boston Red Sox are searching for left-handed relievers with a former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher as their primary target.

Giolito signed a two-year, $38.5 million contract with the Red Sox in 2023 that included a $19 million mutual option for 2026. He missed all of the 2024 campaign with an elbow injury but returned for this past season.

The Red Sox have missed out on some big names this offseason including Alex Bregman. It now appears their plans have shifted to pitching.
