The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon and Katie Woo revealed earlier this month that the Boston Red Sox are open to the idea of building a “super bullpen.” Robert Suárez of the San Diego Padres could be a potential target for the Red Sox.

Suárez has been one of the relievers in baseball over the last two seasons. He has notched 76 saves in the last two years and has been a major reason for the Padres’ success. However, the Padres may not see a need to sign him.

Suárez led the National League in saves last season, but the Padres still traded for Mason Miller from the Athletics. Miller is one of the best young pitchers in baseball and should take over as the closer if Suárez leaves. Suárez’s departure would not leave the Padres without a closer, which means he may not be their top priority. Meanwhile, the Red Sox could see an opportunity to add an elite arm to their bullpen.

Aroldis Chapman was the American League Reliever of the Year last year and signed an extension with the Red Sox last season. He seems locked in as Boston’s closer, but adding Suárez would essentially give the Red Sox another closer they could deploy in the eighth inning.

The two could share ninth-inning duties, giving Alex Cora a left-handed and right-handed option at the end of games. Suárez had a 2.97 ERA in 69 2/3 innings of work. He also had a career-high 75 strikeouts.

In his last 135 games, he has a 2.87 ERA and 134 strikeouts. He is not going to be cheap and he will have plenty of suitors. Spotrac projects him to sign a four-year, $67 million deal. His last contract was a five-year, $46 million deal.

Suárez was so good in the last two seasons that he opted out of the final two years of his deal. Suárez would be an amazing addition to the Red Sox bullpen. However, the Red Sox likely have other priorities they will look at first. Also, Suárez will have to be willing to join a team where he is not the only closer.
