The San Diego Padres are reportedly inking a five-year pact with a surprise star, reliever Robert Suarez, who became a key piece of their bullpen during an NLCS run.
Suarez returned to the mount in August 2018 in the NPB, where he spent the next three seasons honing his craft.
The Padres noticed his skills and signed him to a one-year deal this past season with the 2023 option. In 47.2 innings in 2022, Suarez impressed San Diego with his 2.27 ERA, 61 strikeouts and 1.049 WHIP . The Padres are confident he can continue to provide quality innings out of the bullpen and be a key piece to help them get back to the postseason.
