The San Diego Padres are poised for a busy offseason with rumors swirling around their players being on the trading block. Right-handed reliever Robert Suarez, who enjoyed a breakout season, is a potential trade candidate. After signing a five-year deal worth $46 million, the Padres are looking to gain financial flexibility. With a 2.77 ERA and 36 saves in 2024, Suarez showcased his skills, even earning an All-Star nod. Teams like the Red Sox, Cubs, and Mets are showing interest as the Padres might look to capitalize on their strong bullpen depth.

Although numerous teams are eyeing Suarez, the Padres remain cautious about any trades. Last year, they executed several significant deals, and this year may not be any different. With a strong bullpen featuring Jason Adam and Jeremiah Estrada, the Padres could afford to let go of a player like Suarez while still maintaining a competitive edge.
