3 monstrous trade packages with enough star power to land Dylan Cease
The Dodgers could dive deep into their farm system for a Dylan Cease trade
The Dodgers are always in the market for pitching, especially a controllable ace in his prime. This type of deal only makes sense for a team that is willing to reload their farm system, which Los Angeles has done time and time again. But a trade for Cease would dive deep into anybody’s farm, even the Dodgers.
For the Dodgers, this trade makes complete sense. They would add Dylan Cease to a loaded team for the next few years. Adding Keynan Middleton to their bullpen would be a huge upgrade as well. They have too many assets to know what to do with, which leaves a lot of their guys expendable. Stone and Nastrini are expendable because they would be blocked by Bobby Miller, Julio Urias, Dylan Cease and Emmet Sheehan in this situation. Dalton Rushing is their second highest rated catcher prospect as well.
And for the White Sox, adding these four prospects would kickstart their rebuild in a huge way. They would add four top 30 prospects in a single trade, while also having the ability to deal Giolito, Lynn, and others in order to add more to their prospect pool.
Moving Cease will always be a long shot until it happens. But if anybody has the prospect capital and the guts to do it, it’s the Los Angeles Dodgers.
