With Corbin Burnes set to leave in free agency, the Baltimore Orioles could look to swing a trade for San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease and make him their new ace.
Morosi appeared on "Hot Stove" from the Winter Meetings on Wednesday and reported that many teams looking for rotation help are pivoting towards the trade market after the New York Yankees signed free agent Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million contract on Tuesday night. Even though Corbin Burnes remains available, his asking price likely went up in the wake of
Baltimore acquired Burnes in a blockbuster trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in February, and they will need another ace if or when he walks out the door. Enter Cease, who got flipped from the Chicago White Sox to the San Diego Padres back in March.Cease has one year remaining on his contract, so the Orioles would be heading into a very similar situation to the one they just went through with Burnes.
Cease, who turns 29 years old later this month, is 48-35 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.207 WHIP, 891 strikeouts and a 16.0 WAR since 2021.
