The Phillies are facing some mammoth free-agent decisions this winter, but they apparently have made up their mind about starting pitcher Ranger Suarez.

Philadelphia has “made it clear they do not expect to be bidding” for the 2024 All-Star on the open market, according to a report in The Athletic.

Suarez finished 12-8 for the second consecutive season this year, and the 30-year-old lefty could command a nine-figure contract after posting a 3.20 ERA and 151 strikeouts in 157 1/3 innings over 26 starts.
