All signs point to Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease departing San Diego in free agency, but fans should rejoice after the latest update on the 29-year-old right-hander. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com wrote that he expects almost every big-market to be in on Cease, except for two teams that tend to be massive spenders.
“The list of teams that could pursue Cease is lengthy; after all, nearly every club could use another solid starter in its rotation,” wrote Feinsand. “Two teams unlikely to be in the mix are the Dodgers and Yankees, who have a plethora of starters and will likely focus their attention elsewhere, but other big-market teams could make a push for Cease.
