The Padres send a slew of top prospects to the South Side of Chicago in return, including their No. 5 prospect right-hander Drew Thorpe, their No. 7, outfielder Samuel Savala, and their No. 9, right-hander Jairo Iriarte, along with another righty, Steven Wilson.
Now the Friars just have to hope they're getting the 2021-2022 version of Cease (3.00 ERA, 11.6K/9) rather than the 2023 version (4.58 ERA, 1.41 WHIP).
Cease joins a strong Padres rotation that's headed up by Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove, and also sports Michael King.
The former Cy Young Award runner-up (2022), Cease was the biggest trade piece remaining on the starting pitcher market, which will now leave teams like the New York Yankees scrambling. The Bronx Bombers had re-engaged with the Pale Hose on Cease after they learned of an elbow injury to their ace Gerrit Cole. They'll now have to look elsewhere.
