Toronto Blue Jays recent rumours suggest the Blue Jays are looking at all-star pitcher Ranger Suarezfor next offseason.
With an aging pitching rotation the Blue Jays need to lock up some key pitchers for the future.
Toronto Blue Jays linked to All-Star pitcher Ranger Suarez for next season.
Tj Morin of Yahoo Sports broke the news of the Toronto Blue Jays going after Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez.
"However, just because they conquered this year, doesn't mean they can relax with the roster they have now. There's always a need to upgrade. Bleacher Report's Joe Tansey believes they will, predicting the Jays will pursue and acquire Philadelphia Phillies All-Star pitcher Ranger Suarez."-Morin
This season Suarez has been quite consistent posting a 12-8 record with an ERA of 3.20, 151 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.220 over 157 innings pitched.
Suarez feels as though his time in Philadelphia is over as the Phillies have committed to other players on their roster which is why he could use a new home where he will be valued.
"Suarez would be a great pickup for the Jays. He's a lefty complement to the other top pitchers in the rotation in Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber, and he slots into the third spot perfectly."-Morin
It's a positive sign that the Blue Jays aren't just focusing on the now, but on being competitive for years to come.
It shows this season isn't just a fluke, it's the culmination of the entire organization buying in and their pursuit for more talent proves that point.
