If Dylan Cease once had dreams of pitching for the Cubs in a playoff game at Wrigley Field, they were long faded by the time he toed the rubber Wednesday.
“It feels like a lifetime ago,” Cease said Tuesday of his time with the Cubs, who drafted him out of high school in 2014 and traded him across town to the White Sox in 2017, when he was still a minor leaguer.
At last pitching in a playoff game at Wrigley Field, the right-hander helped keep his current team’s season alive, the Padres punching back with a 3-0 win in Game 2 of their wild-card series against the Cubs.
