San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease was the main part of a trade package offered to a contender, an All-Star doesn't want to be traded away and the Friars made a roster move before their game.

Dylan Cease is a free agent after 2025, and the Padres appear open to trade offers. With that, here are his best trade fits.

Will Sammon of The Athletic recently reported that New York could deal from its infield depth to fill other needs. The Mets have a quartet of young, cost-controlled contributors in Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuña to dangle on the market.
