The market for Dylan Cease is taking shape with the July 31 trade deadline approaching fast.
The Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago Cubs, and New York Mets have contacted the San Diego Padres about the talented right-hander, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
The Padres entered Thursday's action in the NL's last wild-card spot. However, the club is reportedly listening to offers for Cease because he's slated to hit free agency this offseason. The 29-year-old is expected to be one of the top pitchers available during the winter.
