New York Mets rumors are flying in with fury and one of the latest stunners is the availability of San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease. A regularly discussed name in the winter’s offseason Mets rumors, the Padres ended up holding onto him, perhaps to their own detriment. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Mets are one of the teams specified to have checked in on him.
A surprise name has emerged in the starting pitcher market: Dylan Cease, who will be eligible for free agency at year's end. Perception of other teams is that the Padres are intent on making a push for the playoffs, and would use Cease to help fill other roster needs.
