D. Cease - SP

CWS

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports trade talks regarding Dylan Cease have intensified in the last two days and that a deal is increasingly possible prior to next week’s Winter Meetings in Nashville.

Morosi adds that the Braves are among the finalists in the Cease sweepstakes, which will likely produce significant fantasy ramifications. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported earlier this week that Atlanta was among teams pursuing the upper-echelon starter. The 27-year-old fantasy ace won’t reach free agency until 2026, but is arbitration-eligible this offseason for the first time in his career, which certainly plays a role in the rebuilding White Sox’ decision-making process. He compiled an underwhelming 4.58 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 214/79 K/BB ratio across 177 innings (33 starts) this past season, but was one of the American League’s premier hurlers the previous year when he finished second in junior circuit Cy Young Award balloting.

R. Flaherty - 3B

FA

Ryan Flaherty will join the Cubs as their new bench coach, The Athletic’s Britt Ghiroli reports.

Flaherty, San Diego’s bench coach under Bob Melvin, is moving on after losing out on the managerial gig to Mike Shildt. The 37-year-old former Orioles utilityman is widely viewed as a future manager.

E. Pagán - RP

MIN

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal says Emilio Pagán’s two-year deal with the Reds is worth $16 million and includes an opt out after the first year.

It doesn’t seem like Pagán is a player a team should have to give an opt out, too, but then, it’s not easy for the Reds to sign pitchers, given their ballpark.

N. Cruz - DH

SD

The newly retired Nelson Cruz is signing on with the Dodgers organization as an advisor.

Usually, we think of players going to work for one of their former teams in situations like this, but the Dodgers were not one of the nine teams to employ Cruz during his 23 years as a pro. Obviously, they’ve admired him from afar anyway. Cruz retired earlier this month after hitting 464 homers in 19 major league seasons.

The Brewers are meeting again with Jackson Chourio’s representatives on Wednesday in an effort to work out a long-term deal.

The Journal Sentinel’s Curt Hogg hears that the deal, if agreed to, would be in the neighborhood of eight years. Presumably, option years would also be involved.

E. Pagán - RP

MIN

The Reds and Emilio Pagán have come to terms on a two-year contract, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.

This seems like a bad fit because of Pagán’s career 30% groundball rate, but the Reds seem to think it’ll be worth living with the homers. Pagán was excellent last season, finishing with a 2.99 ERA and a 65/21 K/BB ratio in 69 1/3 innings for the Twins. It was, however, his first time with a sub-4.40 ERA since 2019, and the 24% strikeout rate was actually the lowest of his career. The Reds will put him in a setup role in front of Alexis Díaz.

J. Soto - LF

SD

SNY’s Andy Martino says the Padres and Yankees have exchanged names on potential players in a Juan Soto trade but that nothing is close to happening.

The names of Anthony Volpe, Jasson Dominguez, Clarke Schmidt and Michael King have apparently been brought up. With the Padres hoping to contend next year, an ideal return would feature a quality young rotation option along with another significant talent. Still, it’s unclear just how much the Padres can really hope for here, given that Soto will make $30 million-$35 million next season and will be a free agent afterwards.
