The San Diego Padres<\/a> got the news they’d been waiting for on Wednesday, something that didn’t come as much of a surprise. Right-handed pitcher Dylan Cease has decided to take his talents to the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>, a squad that just lost in the World Series a year ago.<\/p>\n

Cease has an excellent opportunity to be one of the top starters in that Blue Jays rotation, and is also getting paid $210 million to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

For the Padres, especially after moving on from multiple top prospects over the past few years, it almost seems like the team still has to remain competitive in some sense.<\/p>\n

Perhaps they want to lower their payroll and, if they can do that, sign other free agents, but there’s a lot to consider here. Will Laws of Sports Illustrated doesn’t seem to think that the payroll concerns are too big an issue, predicting they’ll sign Ranger Suarez in free agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gap between Valdez and Su\u00e1rez is razor thin, and you could make a strong argument for their places on this list being swapped. The Phillies stalwart is a similarly crafty lefty who has been the picture of consistency over the last four years, always posting a FIP between 3.21 and 3.90. A master of inducing soft contact, Su\u00e1rez goes against the grain of the modern model starter who relies on plus stuff and seems to thrive on giving hitters a different look than they\u2019re used to. He should solidify some contender\u2019s projected playoff rotation,\u201d he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suarez and Cease obviously aren’t similar players due to Suarez being a left-hander and Cease being a right-hander, but if people are just looking at straight-up pitching numbers, it’s fair to mention that Suarez is probably a bit better at this stage.<\/p>\n
