Braves Sign All-Star Reliever Robert Suarez to $45M Deal

Right-handed reliever Robert Suarez has signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Atlanta Braves, joining the NL East rival after being a Mets free agent target. The 34-year-old, a two-time All-Star, has posted a 2.87 ERA with 76 saves and a 0.973 WHIP since 2024. He features a three-pitch mix, including a 98.6 mph fastball and a changeup with a 32.8% whiff rate in 2025. Suarez will pair with Raisel Iglesias, forming a formidable one-two punch in the Braves' bullpen, solidifying their late-game options.
