Padres Have "Entertained" Trade Talks For Robert Suarez
5 hours agoAccording to Dennis Lin of The Athletic, the San Diego Padres have "entertained" trade discussions for several key players, including closer Robert Suarez. The other players mentioned have already been circulating around trade discussions, such as second baseman Luis Arraez and starting pitcher Dylan Cease. The 33-year-old enjoyed a career season in 2024, posting a 2.77 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP with 36 saves. Over his first two major league seasons, Suarez tallied just one save. In 2024, he logged a career-high 65 innings and generated a strong 3.05 xERA and .291 xBA, which were both significantly above the average marks. He also showed solid command with a 6.2% walk rate, which placed him in the 78th percentile among qualified pitchers. For now, fantasy managers should view Suarez as the top option for saves in San Diego entering the 2025 season.
