San Diego Padres Surprise Move to Grab Dylan Cease From White Sox
Transcript
00:00 That was not where I thought Dylan Cease was going to end up.
00:04 San Diego, the Padres got him.
00:06 No, I mean, it seems pretty bizarre, right?
00:10 Heading into the season, we don't really view them as a buying team, as the sort of team
00:15 that thinks they are World Series contending.
00:17 Like this was supposed to be the rebuild for AJ Preller and for his team out there in San
00:23 Diego.
00:24 Now, maybe they are viewing Dylan Cease as a guy who can hang around with the big league
00:29 team for multiple years.
00:31 And that's a leg I actually am not even, I don't know anything about the prospect that
00:35 they gave up.
00:36 I'm assuming it's not anyone, you know, a top 10 baseball America guy.
00:40 Cease is only 28 years old.
00:42 He was really good last season.
00:44 He's actually pitched the entire season for all of three seasons in a row.
00:49 So maybe this is just a guy you expect to be on your team for the next five years.
00:54 I don't hate it.
00:55 I mean, I guess I don't hate it from the Padres perspective.
00:59 What I don't understand is why the Padres were the team that made the move.
01:04 Because I'm looking at some of these American League teams, Scotty, and I'm saying, I see
01:08 some giant gaping spots that need just like a really strong second or third starting pitcher
01:15 who make much more sense for Dylan Cease.
