He\u2019s projected to sign a five-year $108 million deal according to Spotrac. Cease went 14-11 with a 3.47 ERA in 33 starts with the Padres in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the Yankees would deal Schmidt who could replace Cease in the Padres rotation. Schmidt is set to earn $3.6 million and has two more years of club control after 2025. Schmidt went 5-5 with a 2.85 ERA in 16 starts for the Yankees in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Pereira is New York\u2019s 10th-ranked prospect. He played in Triple-A in 2024 hitting\u00a0.265 with 10 home runs and 27 RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>Vivas, meanwhile, is the Yankees\u2019 17th-ranked prospect. He signed in 2017 as an international free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers but was dealt to New York in 2023. He\u2019s expected to compete for an MLB roster spot this spring training.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Analyst Explains Yankees-Padres Deal<\/h2>\n<p>Cease\u2019s name has come up in trade talks and he\u2019s expected to be dealt.<\/p>\n<p>With Cease in the final year of his deal, Carannante doesn\u2019t think the Padres will be able to get a haul for him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">\u201cCease is a rental and isn\u2019t an extension candidate due to his reported desire to hit free agency,\u201d Carannante wrote. \u201cThe Yankees wouldn\u2019t have to surrender a whole lot, and it would give them financial flexibility next offseason with another deal coming off the books.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s stopping the Yankees from offering Clarke Schmidt, Everson Pereira and Jorbit Vivas? Or some variation of that where the Padres replenish Cease\u2019s spot in the rotation and get prospect value for the infield\/outfield after the departures of Ha-Seong Kim and Jurickson Profar?,\u201d Carannante added.<\/p>\n<p>By adding Cease, the Yankees rotation would then feature Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rod\u00f3n,\u00a0 Cease, and Luis Gil, with Marcus Stroman likely to be traded.<\/p>\n<p>With that, Schmidt isn\u2019t needed for New York but is a young pitcher for San Diego to help replace Cease.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Padres Likely to Deal Cease<\/h2>\n<p>San Diego has yet to sign a player to an MLB contract as the Padres are clearing salaries.<\/p>\n<p>The Athletic\u2019s Dan Hayes and Dennis Lin reported that rival executives expect the Padres to deal Cease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Padres, who still have multiple needs after missing out on a potential ace in Roki Sasaki, are currently projected to be over the luxury tax threshold,\u201d the article read. \u201cThe Padres would like to keep Cease, but some rival officials believe president of baseball operations A.J. Preller ultimately will have little choice but to move the pending free agent and his $13.75 million salary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>San Diego acquired Cease in March of 2024 from the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
