Padres Notes: Dylan Cease Rumors, Blockbuster Trade Proposal, Joe Musgrove Leadership

The San Diego Padres seem content entering the season with the starting rotation as currently constructed.

However, there does appear to be a potential path for the Friars to trade right-handed pitcher Dylan Cease as he enters his final year of team control.

If the Padres do end up moving Cease, they'll want to reload their roster with affordable, win-now players.

One blockbuster trade proposal would do just that.

And finally, while right-handed pitcher Joe Musgrove is expected to miss the entire 2025 season, he's still finding plenty of ways to be a leader for this year's team.
