Cubs A Team To Watch On Dylan Cease
1 min agoMLB Network's Jon Morosi reports that a team to watch in regards to San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease, who is on the trade market this offseason, is the Chicago Cubs. Both Cease and right-hander Michael King are on the trade block with the Padres facing payroll constraints in 2025, and Morosi goes on to say that Cease is more likely to be moved than King because Cease makes more money. The Cubs make plenty of sense as a trade partner for the Padres because they have seven of MLB Pipeline's top-100 prospects, with six of them expected to make an impact at the big-league level this year. With Jurickson Profar recently departing via free agency, the Padres have a hole to fill in left field, so a trade of either Cease or King could bring back an outfielder that could fill that hole immediately. Morosi specifically mentions Owen Caissie as a possibility for the Friars.
