Blue Jays join other AL East teams with interest in Padres Cy Young finalist starter

As the Blue Jays continue their search for starting pitching help at the deadline, a new name has been reported regarding Toronto's interest. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, all four contenders in the AL East have expressed interest in Dylan Cease.

A type of trade involving Cease would not be like traditional deadline deals. The Padres are just a few games back of the Dodgers in the NL West, and within a wild card spot. San Diego appears to want to shed this salary for young talent, to then aid them towards different starting pitching options with both the money and prospect capital to acquire them.
