The Padres conducted what may be the worst fire sale ever, so maybe they never would have dealt star closer Robert Suarez, anyway.

But word is no team made a serious play for Suarez, the 101-mph-throwing righty who leads the NL in saves — not the Yankees (who went for Devin Williams instead), nor anyone else.

The Padres were allegedly listening on everyone except Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill but wound up trading no one — and actually added instead.

So, this may not really be much of a missed opportunity.

While Williams doesn’t look especially comfortable either on the mound or in interviews, he’s been professional, and more to the point, is showing positive signs.{ai:summary}<p>The Padres reportedly did not receive serious trade interest for star closer Robert Suarez, despite conducting a significant fire sale.
