Ace pitcher Dylan Cease has formally confirmed his full commitment to the San Diego Padres, putting an end to trade rumors and reaffirming his trust in the team’s championship potential in a strong and public statement that has sparked excitement among Padres fans.
Cease has been the mainstay of San Diego’s pitching rotation in 2025 since being acquired from the White Sox in a significant preseason trade. The right-hander made it clear that he is not leaving the Padres, even though the team had a patchy start to the season and there were rumors circulating that he would be traded before the trade deadline.
During a press appearance on Tuesday, Cease declared, “I’m all in.” I firmly believe that we can still create something exceptional, which is why I came to San Diego. I’m dedicated to winning here, to this team, and to this city.
This season, the 28-year-old has been one of the Padres’ most dependable pitchers, consistently providing the team with strong starts and recording a respectable ERA. Cease has swiftly gained popularity among fans and established himself as a recognized leader in the clubhouse thanks to his fierce competitive edge and wipeout tactics.
“Dylan is a major part of what we’re building here,” Padres general manager A.J. Preller said, echoing Cease’s remark. His dedication to our locker room is enormous. In addition to being a fantastic pitcher, he is the kind of rival you want in a postseason battle.
