Some say they overpaid, some say it was the right figure, but one thing is sure: the Red Sox are happy after signing Ranger Suarez. And the Phillies are now left with more problems than solutions to solve in the rest of the offseason.

Suárez showed he could thrive with diminished stuff in 2025. He joins a Red Sox rotation that has already upgraded this winter.

The most obvious pivot has absolutely nothing to do with Suarez. As great as Suarez is and as big a loss as this is, the Phillies' No. 1 priority should be bolstering the lineup. Assuming Kyle Tucker is out of the realm of possibility, Bo Bichette, a player the Phillies have been linked to a ton lately, should be their top target.
