Robert Suarez Opts Out, Becomes Free Agent
                
        
        San Diego Padres All-Star closer Robert  Suarez, who led the National League with 40 saves in 2025, opted out of his contract on Monday and will now officially become a free agent, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Suarez had $16 million over two years to go on his deal with San Diego, but now he'll be one of the most sought-after relief arms on the market this winter. The 34-year-old right-hander also had a 2.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 134 strikeouts and 32 walks in 134 2/3 innings out of the bullpen during the regular season in addition to his league-best 40 saves. If Suarez doesn't return to the Padres, the Friars could use flamethrower Mason  Miller as their primary closer in 2026, if they don't transition him back to a starting role. Suarez, meanwhile, should be able to easily land a hefty multi-year deal, but his 2026 fantasy value will depend on where he lands.
