Latest Ranger Suárez news validates Brayan Bello’s reason for leaving WBC
Boston Red Sox fans were shocked to see reports that Brayan Bello had returned to Fort Myers for spring training on March 13 — he suited up for Team Domnican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, a team many fans expected to see in the final.
Bello was lined up to start either the DR's semifinal game against the United States or the championship game, if it made it there. But the righty returned to spring training early and said he didn't feel he was getting the work he needed with his WBC squad.
The same thing has happened with Ranger Suárez, who made two starts for his home country of Venezuela. The Red Sox on March 17 — the day of Venezuela's final tilt against Team USA — announced that Suárez was not properly built up in the WBC. He'll be in the rotation a the beginning of the season, but he'll be limited (per Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe).

Red Sox Facing Early Concern With $130 Million Arm
The Boston Red Sox made a clear statement this offseason when they signed Ranger Suárez to a five-year, $130 million contract. The expectation was straightforward: stability in the middle of the rotation and a dependable arm behind frontline starters Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray.
However, just days before Opening Day, that plan is already being tested.
According to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox have “concerns” about Suárez’s buildup following a light spring workload. The left-hander has only pitched 9.1 innings during spring training and the World Baseball Classic, raising concerns about how stretched out he will be when the regular season begins.
