Still looking for a package for Dylan Cease:
Are you looking for an affordable ace, with control for multiple years? The perhaps Cease is who you should be trading for! Obviously, I'll be looking for a significant package coming back for him to be moved.
His salary for 2023 is at $7.5 - 5th, which gives you control for two years (plus HTD), which is pretty reasonable for a pitcher of his caliber. Here are his 2022 stats:
WAR W L ERA IP SO WHIP
6.4 14 8 2.20 184 227 1.109
Any package for him will need to include a combination of young, controllable MLB talent, plus elite prospects, or a comparable 1B/3B. I'm mainly seeking (in order of preference) a 1B, 3B, SP for the young MLB talent. Prospects must be elite and I prefer any that are closer to joining the show. I don't have a preference on positions that the prospects play, but will likely give greater consideration to position players versus pitchers.
