Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suárez is one of the club's players heading into free agency after the 2025 season. Suárez will be a valued piece of the Phillies' rotation down the stretch, and both the Phillies and Suárez want him to be the same cool, calm and collected guy they've gotten the last couple of years in the postseason. The Phillies got that version earlier in the season from Suárez with an ERA as low as 1.99 on July 5.
Suárez has remained efficient as a starter, but there's real concern over his dip in velocity that continued in his latest outing against the Reds, per Bob Cooney of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
