San Diego Padres insider believes right-handed starting pitcher Dylan Cease could be a trade deadline option for the Padres.

Dylan Cease had the start the San Diego Padres needed him to have against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Petco Park, Tuesday. Cease held the Dodgers without a run and completed seven innings to help the Padres get an 11-1 win.

The Dodgers and Padres squared off this week in their first of four 2025 regular-season series and the first rematch since the Southern California foes faced off in last year’s NLDS. With the Dodgers holding a one-game lead on both the Padres and Giants atop the NL West entering the series, the stakes were readily apparent.

The San Diego Padres have a Micahel King update, a Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star almost joined the Padres, and Dylan Cease has trade rumors from a top insider.

The San Diego Padres capitalized on the Los Angeles Dodgers' lack of major league pitchers for an 11-1 victory.
