"Since that 2022 season, however, and since he's come to San Diego, Cease's production has been far from what almost won him the most valuable pitching award in baseball back then, with an ERA of 4.02 and a 21-22 record since making the move to the Padres. Despite his mediocrity over the past couple of seasons, Cease could still be a hot commodity come offseason free agency."
"Cease has had a positive impact since he's come to Southern California, such as throwing a no-hitter in July of 2024, and finished that season with over 200 strikeouts, and will likely finish the 2025 season over the 200 mark as well. Cease got the win in San Diego's 8-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies Sunday night, going five innings, allowing four hits, one earned run, and striking out five."
Three years ago with the Chicago White Sox, Dylan Cease earned All-MLB Second Team honors and finished second in AL Cy Young voting behind Justin Verlander. Since the 2022 season and after moving to San Diego, Cease has posted a 4.02 ERA and a 21-22 record. His stuff remains elite and front offices adore him despite a 4.71 ERA; he will be 30 going into next season and is likely to carry a qualifying offer, making him a candidate for shorter-term deals with multiple opt-outs. Cease threw a no-hitter in July 2024, exceeded 200 strikeouts that season, and is on pace to surpass 200 strikeouts again in 2025.
