The Padres announced they’ve signed reliever Robert Suárez to a one-year,
major league contract. The deal also contains a player option for the 2023
campaign.

Suárez has never appeared in the big leagues. The Venezuela native has spent
the past five seasons pitching in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball,
emerging as a shutdown closer the last two years. Between 2020-21, the
right-hander saved 67 games for the Hanshin Tigers. He reportedly attracted
some big league interest last offseason on the heels of a 2.24 ERA in 2020,
but Suárez elected to return to the Nishinomiya-based club for a second
season.

The 30-year-old (31 in March) backed up his prior success with another great
showing this year. Suárez dominated to the tune of a 1.16 ERA across 62 1/3
frames. His peripherals were equally impressive, as the righty struck out
25.3% of opposing hitters against a minuscule 3.5% walk percentage.

The Padres have made two bullpen pick-ups this afternoon. Suárez’s deal
comes just hours after the team finalized a two-year contract with former
Cardinals reliever Luis Garcia.
