Dylan Cease, Michael King Remain On The Trade Market
2 weeks agoThe Athletic's Ken Rosenthal writes that one of the reasons the free-agent market remains clogged in late January is that names like San Diego Padres right-handers Dylan Cease and Michael King are among the starting pitchers available on the trade market. An arbitration hearing for King remains likely after he asked for $8.8 million, with the Padres offering $7.325 million. The best free-agent starters on the market this offseason have already found homes in Max Fried, Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki, but Jack Flaherty and Nick Pivetta are still available. In addition to Cease and King, Seattle Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo remains available for trade as the M's look to boost their offense. Regardless of where they are pitching in 2025, both Cease and King should be considered low-end SP2 options for fantasy managers.
