Dylan Cease had a strong first season with the Friars, accumulating a WAR of 4.8 and throwing a no hitter. He was worth the high price the Padres paid for him.
While the free agent market has been steady, the trade market has been pretty quiet so far, with the biggest deal being Garrett Crochet from the White Sox to the Red Sox.
Teams like the San Diego Padres and Red Sox would part with established major leaguers for strong packages in the right scenario, especially if it strengthens their playoff chances.
An impending ownership change may cause the Padres to cut payroll, leading to speculation that Dylan Cease, despite his value, could be traded for a significant return.
