The Philadelphia Phillies have anchored their recent winning formula largely on a robust and skilled starting pitching staff, which gave the organization the security to part ways with a prominent starter prior to the current season.
The Phillies were at ease allowing former All-Star left-hander Ranger Suarez to depart for the Boston Red Sox, trusting that Zack Wheeler, Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, and the rest of the group could keep things rolling without him. Still, for plenty of supporters, his departure stung considerably.
“Suarez had not only solidified his reputation as one of the premier lefty starters in baseball, but he also held a special place in the hearts of Philadelphia fans because of his steady composure and upbeat nature,” Paul Casella wrote for MLB.com. “Throughout his time there, Suarez was central to so many unforgettable moments for the organization most notably recording the final out that secured the pennant for the Phillies during the 2022 National League Championship Series.”
