Outside The Confines: Cease and persist

Dylan Cease has been a name on the trade radar for the entire offseason, but as we drew closer to Opening Day it started to be questionable if he was going to get moved, but the big event has finally happened and in a big surprise it was the San Diego Padres who made a move to claim the pitcher.

Cease is headed to San Diego and in return four players will be headed back to Chicago, including three of their top ten prospects. In the trade, the White Sox receive RHP Drew Thorpe, OF Samuel Zavala, RHP Jairo Iriarte, and RHP Steven Wilson.
