The Padres appear to be working on the finishing touches of a deal to acquire right-hander Dylan Cease from the Chicago White Sox, according to reports.
Pitcher Dylan Cease's name has been linked to trade rumors for quite some time. On Wednesday, ESPN reported the long-awaited trade for the right-handed pitcher had been finalized. Cease, who has spent his entire major league career with the Chicago White Sox, is expected to join the San Diego Padres. The White Sox will receive multiple prospects in exchange for Cease, according to multiple reports. Cease, 28, had somewhat of a disappointing season in 2023, finishing with a 4.
However, Cease has performed well during spring training this year. His ERA sits at 2.16. He is one of just five pitchers to log 200 strikeouts each of the past three seasons. Gerrit Cole, Kevin Gausman, Aaron Nola and Corbin Burnes are the others. Chicago is coming off a down year, finishing 2023 with a 61-101 record. The team made several notable front office changes, including promoting assistant general manager Chris Getz to lead the franchise's baseball operations.
The Padres open the 2024 MLB season later this month with a two-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Seoul, South Korea. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
