The article from The Sporting News discusses the New York Yankees' interest in acquiring Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease as a potential trade target to bolster their starting rotation. Despite Cease's impressive performance in 2022, where he finished second in the AL Cy Young voting, his 2023 season was marked by struggles, posting a 4.58 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP over 33 starts. The article highlights the risks associated with trading for Cease, noting his inconsistent performance and the high cost of prospects the Yankees might have to give up. It also mentions that while Cease could be a valuable addition if he returns to his 2022 form, the Yankees might be better off pursuing other pitchers like Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery, who could offer more reliability and less risk.
