2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending two injury-marred seasons in a setup role, Suarez remained healthy and emerged as the Padres closer. The 33-year-old was outstanding, racking up nine wins (T-2nd among relievers), 36 saves (4th in the league) and an 81.8 percent team save share that was 6th-highest among closers. He was named NL Reliever of the Month for May and earned his first All-Star selection. Suarez wasn't sharp in the second half, but still finished with a respectable 2.77 ERA and 1.05 WHIP for the season. Perhaps most impressively, he signficantly improved his walk rate, cutting it by three percentage points. This may be attributed to a pitch mix change, as Suarez went fastball-heavy (71 percent usage) while completely abandoning his slider. The right-hander displayed improved velocity on his four-seamer, averaging 99.1 miles per hour on the pitch compared to 97.7 in 2023. As long as health persists for Suarez, he's the favorite to retain closing duties for San Diego in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Padres in November of 2022. Exercised two-year, $16 million player option for 2026 and 2027. Contract includes $250,000 bonuses for 20, 25, 30 and 35 games finished and $500,000 bonuses for 40, 45, 50 and 55 games finished.
Allows homer but converts save
Suarez allowed one run on two hits over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.
Analysis
Suarez picked up his first save since Aug. 26 despite giving up a solo home run to Mickey Moniak in the ninth inning. The lack of saves has been because of the Padres' 2-7 skid over the last nine games, with the only other win in that span being a blowout. This outing ended Suarez's 6.2-inning scoreless streak, but it was just the fourth homer he's allowed over 60 innings this season. The closer has matched his career high of 36 saves while maintaining a 3.00 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 63:14 K:BB.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After an impressive debut in the States in 2022, Suarez declined his $5 million player option last November and became a free agent. A few days later, the right-hander signed a five-year contract with the Padres, as the team clearly thought highly of him to pay him $10 million per season. Unfortunately, Suarez missed the entire first half of 2023 while recovering from severe elbow inflammation. The soon-to-be 33-year-old made his season debut right after the All-Star break and slid right back into setup duties. Suarez would only pitch 27.2 innings across 26 appearances, however, as he also missed 10 games for the alleged use of a foreign substance. Suarez wound up compiling four wins, nine holds and a 0.90 WHIP for San Diego last year and figures to have a leg up for closing duties in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might remain with Padres
The Padres have "no plans" to trade Suarez even after acquiring Mason Miller, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Analysis
While less definitive, Jon Heyman of the New York Post also notes that it "shouldn't be assumed" the Padres will trade Suarez even after adding Miller. Dealing Suarez to augment the roster elsewhere would seem sensible, but it appears the Padres might be happy with hanging onto him as part of a loaded bullpen. Suarez remaining in San Diego would be bad news for his fantasy value, as he would surely operate in a setup role ahead of Miller.
