Dylan Cease reflects on the disappointment of his final season with the Chicago White Sox, expressing that it 'wasn't enjoyable in really any way.' However, he highlights the excitement of playing for the San Diego Padres and the talent that could not be fully utilized with the White Sox.
Despite a successful season in 2022 where Cease showcased his pitching prowess, he acknowledges the White Sox's underperformance and the missed opportunity to compete effectively as a team. This led to significant changes and ultimately his trade to the San Diego Padres.
Cease's sentiments towards returning to Chicago to face the Cubs are positive, indicating his enjoyment of Wrigley Field and the city, even though his history with the Cubs is not as extensive. He was part of a promising young core on the White Sox but the team's success quickly dwindled after consecutive playoff appearances.
Following the disappointing 2021 season with the White Sox, Cease experienced a bounce-back year in 2022, solidifying his pitching skills and capturing attention as one of the top pitchers in baseball. Despite the team's potential, they failed to deliver, leading to significant changes and Cease's eventual trade to the Padres.
