CHICAGO WHITE SOX
White Sox pitcher ‘intrigued’ by possibility of being traded to contender

The article discusses the trade candidacy of White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease during the offseason. Initially, there was widespread expectation that Cease would be traded before the start of the season, given the club’s openness to move him and the interest from other teams. However, Cease’s trade candidacy seemed to lose momentum as the offseason progressed, with potential suitors like the Orioles, Reds, Yankees, and Dodgers finding other solutions for their pitching needs.
Despite the lack of a trade thus far, the White Sox have set a high asking price for Cease and have shown no indication of lowering it. General Manager Chris Getz even suggested that Cease could be the team’s Opening Day starter, and Cease himself has started searching for apartments in Chicago, indicating a potential willingness to stay with the White Sox.
However, both Cease and the team acknowledge that a trade is still possible, as there have been no discussions about a contract extension. The White Sox have informed Cease that they intend to trade him once they receive an offer that meets their asking price, although no such offer has materialized yet.
Cease has expressed a neutral stance on the possibility of being traded, stating that he loves Chicago but is intrigued by the idea of playing for a contender. He remains focused on his preparation for the upcoming season and maintaining a positive presence in the clubhouse.
The White Sox prefer to trade Cease before Opening Day, but if a deal doesn’t materialize, they could carry him into the season in hopes of increasing his trade value. Cease’s performance in the first half of the season will likely play a significant role in determining whether teams are willing to meet the White Sox’s asking price. If he performs well, there may be increased interest in acquiring him, but if he struggles or gets injured, it could diminish his trade value.
