FutureSox Podcast: The Return for Dylan Cease

On a Wednesday night special edition of the FutureSox Podcast, Ian Eskridge and James Fox break down the return to the White Sox from their trade with the Padres for Dylan Cease. They comb through the 4 player return and let you know what each piece brings to the table.
What is the arsenal of 2023 MiLB pitcher of the year, Drew Thorpe, and what made him dominant to the tune of a 0.98 WHIP? They also take a look at Jairo Iriarte's pitch mix and how he fared in both Adv A and AA in 2023. Samuel Zavala was the 3rd player announced, and is a very young athletic Outfielder that grabs your interest with high OBP and solid power numbers. The final piece of the puzzle was right handed reliever Steven Wilson, who is an older relief pitcher, but put up very solid numbers last year in his rookie season.
After going through the return they look at what that could do to the White Sox top 10 and where the org ranks among their peers. They make the case for, and against, Drew Thorpe cracking the top 2. As it winds down, they attempt to take a peek at Chris Getz feelings on the return.
