San Diego Padres Pitcher Dylan Cease Predicted to Sign Massive Deal with Giants
The San Francisco Giants are on the cusp of landing a prized pitcher in free agency. According to Ryan Finkelstein of Just Baseball, Dylan Cease is expected to sign a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Giants, making him one of the highest-paid pitchers in baseball history.
Cease's impending contract would surpass that of Corbin Boras' six-year, $210 million deal, and even come close to the eight-year, $218 million pact signed by Max Fried. Finkelstein predicts Cease will settle on a mid-range deal worth $30 million per season over seven years, landing him at a total contract value of $210 million.
The Giants are in dire need of adding depth to their pitching staff after trading away several key players in the Rafael Devers deal. With the necessary financial resources at their disposal, signing Cease could be a shrewd move that helps close the gap with division rivals like the Los Angeles Dodgers.
For the Padres, losing Cease will be a significant blow, particularly given his expected massive contract. The team is already facing the loss of another key pitcher in Michael King, who is projected to sign a more modest deal in free agency.

... first off, $30 million per season is way too low for someone as talented as Cease, don't think so 
. I mean, have you seen the prices of houses in the Bay Area lately? That's like throwing money out the window 
They must be getting some kinda secret sponsorship deal or something... 
. I'm starting to think there's more to this story than just baseball, you know? Like maybe someone's trying to disrupt the balance of power in the league or something 
.
. I remember watchin' baseball games with my buddies back in the day and we'd be so excited if our favorite pitcher got a new contract that was worth like, $10 million over five years! Now it's all about the dollars and cents, right? 
that's crazy! I dont get how they come up with these numbers tho...like what makes someone worth 30 million just because? 
my friend plays baseball and hes always talking about injuries and how it affects the team so yeah I can see why this would be a big loss for the Padres
this is getting ridiculous! $210 million for one guy? That's just insane 
It's like the Giants are trying to break all sorts of records... not in a good way. And poor Cease, he's gonna have to sign on the dotted line and be basically owned by the team 
. I guess this is what happens when teams have all that cash burning a hole in their pockets 
! A 7-year, $210 million deal for Dylan Cease? That's like, crazy money 
. And to think, they'll finally have some serious depth in their pitching staff 
. The Padres are gonna miss him so much though 
, especially with Michael King leaving too... that's like losing two of your best guys at once 
!
that's insane! i mean i get why the giants are willing to spend big on him tho they gotta close that gap with the dodgers ASAP 
. Guess that means they'll be stuck with a bunch of mid-tier pitchers... again 
. Cease is an incredibly talented pitcher and adding him to their staff could be a game-changer in the National League West 
.
. Losing one of your top pitchers can't come at a worse time, especially if you're already dealing with injuries or inconsistent performance from other players. The King situation doesn't help either... it's like they're losing two key pieces to their pitching staff in quick succession 
.
. They've got the resources and a strong front office to make it happen. If he can stay healthy and deliver on his expected performance, this deal could be a huge win for the franchise 
️. The only concern is that there might be other top pitchers out there who are looking for similar deals... we'll have to wait and see how things play out 
. Plus, $30 mil per season is still kinda crazy 
, but hey, if he wants that cash then who am I to judge? The Padres are gonna have to scramble to find someone else to fill Cease's spot and I'm just wondering what kind of deal they're gonna offer Michael King 
i mean the pads are gonna miss him bad, but who can blame them for wanting to sign someone of his caliber?? cease is literally the future of baseball 
. And on top of that, they gotta live w/ the knowledge that their top guy just got poached by the Giants for a MASSIVE deal 
. Still though, it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out and if the Giants can actually make some noise in the playoffs with their new pitching staff
