  1. As a Padres fan now I have to worry about losing Cease. I just hope we at leat keep Arraez and extend him at some point as he is the next Tony Gwynn. Excited for what Nick Pivetta can bring and I am hoping Padres are finanitally able to gover the CBT and Keep Cease for at least the season.

  2. As a Padres fan, you don’t understand business at all bro! The price last year for Cease is not the price this year! And when the teams involved are Sox and Padres aka team who needs prospects and team who’s a contender… the dynamics are completely different than when dealing with two teams that are contenders. A trade of Cease to make another team better will ultimately make Padres worse and less of a competitive team, therefore why they need an overpay!!! You aren’t just trading for Cease, you’re trading to potentially take Padres out of the playoffs.. so yeah.. it’s effin expensive!!! Pay it or prepare to lose to us!!!

  3. Padre FAN here: We could trade one at the deadline. Even if we are in the Playoffs. I would be ok if we didn't trade the pitchers that we got and take our shot this year.

  4. I think Cease for a couple top prospects would be the move here. No way he stays after this season. Don't make the same mistake you made as Hader and others. Letting them walk for absolutely nothing when you could have replenished the farm.

  5. Terrific deal with AJ's creativity but absolutely keep Cease – it's important for San Diego to compete against the Dodgers but if you are down the line in July at the deadline need to let him go absolutely never to a national league team absolutely not forget it New York Mets forget it Cubs get it San Francisco you would trade Cease to an American League team
