Padres’ Big Pitching Acquisition Could Mean They’re Looking Move Dylan Cease, Robert Suarez

The Cubs missed on one Suárez when Eugenio was traded to the Mariners, but perhaps they could pivot to another they’ve been tied to for a while. There was a lot of talk about the Cubs being interested in both reliever Robert Suarez and starter Dylan Cease over the offseason, and the Padres’ recent acquisition of Mason Miller and JP Sears from the Athletics could stoke more conversations. Given their desire to shed payroll — Miller and Sears are both pre-arb — and the prospect haul it took to make the deal work, it makes sense for the Pads to flip the veterans.
