The Boston Red Sox are interested in trading for San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, who provided further context on that note:
Soon after Morosi's post, the Yankees reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $218 million contract with former Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried, per ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Red Sox were readying an offer to ex-Baltimore Orioles ace Corbin Burnes as of Tuesday afternoon, per Sean McAdam of Mass Live.
But if Burnes heads elsewhere, then attention will reportedly go to Cease.
