More than a dozen teams have inquired on Cease, with the Dodgers among the most aggressive, as USA Today's Bob Nightengale and others have reported.
Acquiring a pitcher like Cease could be a difference-maker for the Dodgers next year, as he is only 27 years old, still has two more years of club control and is a dominant pitcher on the mound.
In what was a down year with the White Sox last year, Cease threw over 200 strikeouts for the third straight year. In 2021, Cease was a 13-game winner with a 3.91 ERA. In 2022, he was even better as he won 14 games and held a 2.20 ERA with 227 strikeouts, the highest in his career.
