Dylan Cease
Free Agent
There are no bets available at the moment.
Extended qualifying offer
The Padres extended Cease a one-year, $22.05 million qualifying offer Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
If Cease signs elsewhere in free agency, the Padres will receive a bonus draft pick as compensation. The 29-year-old has been extremely reliable from a health standpoint, making at least 32 starts in each of the last five seasons. His performance, on the other hand, has been more inconsistent, as he's looked like a top-end starter at times but finished the 2025 regular season with a 4.55 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 168 innings.
