Red Sox land Ranger Suarez on a five-year, $130 million pact

The Red Sox signed Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million deal (forfeiting two draft picks and $1 million in international bonus pool). A former Phillies All-Star, Suarez is a deception-based lefty with a strong changeup and a heavy groundball approach, likely to slot as a middle-to-back of the rotation arm. In 2025 he posted 26 starts, 157 1/3 innings, a 3.20 ERA, 23.2% strikeout rate, 5.8% walk rate, and 17 quality starts, suggesting solid but not overpowering upside as Boston reshapes its rotation.

Mariners Promote Joe Jacques Amid Pitching Changes

The Seattle Mariners have called up left-hander Joe Jacques and optioned Emerson Hancock, with Jacques joining the team as a potential second lefty in the bullpen. Jacques, who was acquired from the Dodgers in a trade involving Will Klein, has shown solid ground ball rates and strikeout numbers in the minors, despite a high ERA this season. The team may use him flexibly, possibly shuttling him between the majors and minors, depending on roster needs and potential trades.

"Astros Shake Up Bullpen with Josh Hader Signing"

The Houston Astros have designated left-hander Matt Gage for assignment to make room for the officially announced signing of left-hander Josh Hader. Gage, claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays in February 2023, had a mixed performance in the majors and Triple-A. The Astros now have a week to trade Gage or pass him through waivers, and his remaining option may enhance his appeal to other teams. The departure of Gage affects the Astros' situational lefty group, with Hader set to take on the closer's role.
