MLB Trade Deadline Rumors: Yankees, Mariners Target Third Baseman; Padres Could Shop Surprising Pitcher
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 23 – San Diego Padres may trade pitcher Dylan Cease to address roster gaps and financial limits despite playoff contention, with interest from multiple MLB teams including the Cubs and Yankees.
- Yesterday, ESPN's Buster Olney reported that the Padres have spoken to several teams about trading Dylan Cease, with the Yankees, Mets, Cubs, and Red Sox checking in.
- With limited prospect depth, the new-look ownership structure is less willing to spend than late Peter Seidler, impacting roster moves.
- Through 99 innings since April 14, Cease has posted a 4.09 ERA, a 30% strikeout rate, and an 8.6% walk rate.
- Removing Cease from the rotation would leave Pivetta, Yu Darvish, Stephen Kolek, Randy Vasquez, and Ryan Bergert, trimming nearly $5MM to pursue upgrades.
- Looking toward the deadline, Padres have contacted the Orioles about Charlie Morton, expected to be traded by July 31, ESPN's Buster Olney reported.
