MLB Trade Rumors: Dylan Cease is heading to the San Diego Padres from the Chicago White Sox, per Jeff Passan on Twitter.
The market around Cease seemed to have heated up over the past few days. Whether that was due at least in part to the New York Yankees re-engaging after Gerrit Cole’s elbow resulted in him being sidelined, or if it is just a matter of Opening Day looming hastening things, the White Sox have apparently now gotten enough to pull the trigger on a deal.
We talked about the Rangers being linked to Cease earlier today, but with the righthander apparently now off the market, the Rangers will have to look elsewhere should they wish to fortify their rotation ahead of the start of the season.
