The Boston Red Sox are one of six teams showing interest in San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease, according to MLB insider Jon Heyman of the New York Post. While it is unclear if Boston has made an official offer,

Despite sitting at just 3-10 this season with a 4.59 ERA, Cease is a proven ace who's pitched at a high level since his MLB debut in 2019.
