Overview

• White Sox GM Chris Getz expects Dylan Cease to be the team's Opening Day starter, signaling he's likely to stay despite trade rumors.
• Cease's high trade value, due to his performance and contract control through 2025, has made negotiations challenging.
• The New York Yankees have shown interest in Cease but are unwilling to trade top prospect Spencer Jones.
• Cease's potential trade has been a hot topic, but a deal seems unlikely before the season starts.
• The White Sox's steep asking price and Cease's importance to the team are key factors in trade discussions.
