By Zach PressnellShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberThe Toronto Blue Jays reportedly agreed to a deal with Dylan Cease, and it's likely going to kickstart the starting pitching market this offseason.
One of the next pitchers who could be signed off the market is Philadelphia Phillies starter Ranger Suárez. Suárez is coming off a huge year with the Phillies and is likely looking for a contract worth at least $150 million in free agency.
Jackson Roberts of Fastball OnSi recently projected Suárez would sign a massive six-year, $171 million contract with the San Francisco Giants.
..."Because he gives up a reasonably high number of fly balls, Suárez could thrive in a big ballpark, and the San Francisco Giants have long been a paradise for pitchers with that batted ball profile," Roberts wrote. "Plus, we know this Giants front office has no aversion to big-money deals."
The Giants need to add pitching to their roster if they want to compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. The money shouldn't be a problem this offseason, so a deal like this could make a lot of sense.
There's a chance the Giants get caught up chasing a superstar like Kyle Tucker in free agency, but finding a deal with an ace like Suárez makes a lot more sense.
