The Season That Was: Dylan Cease

We signed Dylan Cease on December 2nd last year. He got a seven-year, $210 million contract. I read a few baseball commentators call it the worst free-agent signing of the off-season. Right now, they appear very wrong.

We disagreed. 42.9% of us were 'Kind of Happy', 41.8% were Very Happy. Only 5.1% were Kind of or Very Unhappy.

Cease spent the previous two seasons with the Padres. He had a very good season in 2024, a 3.47 ERA and a 4.0 bWAR and a less good 2025 season, with a 4.55 ERA and a 1.0 bWAR.
