White Sox's High Asking Price for Dylan Cease Deters Potential Trade Suitors

Despite Trade Rumors, Cease Named Opening Day Starter as White Sox Balance Potential Return with Risks

Dylan Cease, a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, is currently a hot topic in trade rumors, with the team's asking price described as 'the sun and the moon'.
Despite a disappointing 2023 season, Cease has been named the Opening Day starter for the White Sox, indicating that the team may not be in a rush to trade him before the season begins.
White Sox's manager Pedro Grifol has expressed satisfaction with the current arrangement and highlighted Cease's focus and confidence despite the ongoing trade rumors.
Teams such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Baltimore Orioles have shown interest in Cease, but the high asking price set by the White Sox has deterred potential suitors.
First-year GM Chris Getz seems committed to acquiring top prospects in any potential deal involving Cease, reflecting a strategic approach that balances potential return with the risks of holding onto the pitcher.
