The San Diego Padres are in a prime playoff position and are also anticipated to be aggressive buyers as the trade deadline approaches. Interestingly, a recent poll showed that Padres fans are largely in favor of trading Robert Suarez, a pitcher with an expiring contract. In fact, 78% of fans expressed their willingness to move on from the 34-year-old, who has been struggling after a solid start this season.

While Suarez boasts an impressive MLB-best 24 saves this year, his performance has taken a downturn with a 4.04 ERA overall, exacerbated by a troubling June where he posted a staggering 7.94 ERA. Fans seem to recognize the need to capitalize on his value before he potentially walks in free agency, making the decision to trade him a sound organizational strategy.
