Ben Schulman

Ernie, thank you so much.

All righty.

Thank you.

Coverage of Blue Jays baseball continues on the Sportsnet Radio Network.

I'm Ben Schulman, joined by Blue Jays right-handed pitcher Dylan Cease.

Dylan, thanks so much for your time.

Yeah, of course.

Thanks for having me.

So you were one of the big additions to the Blue Jays coming into 2026.

What was it like for you to get to free agency for the first time?

How was that process of getting to talk to and meet with a lot of different teams?

What were you kind of looking for in teams?

Obviously, you found what you were looking for in the Blue Jays, but what were you looking for when you were going around teams outside of the contract, of course, which is important, but what kind of environment?

So you've switched teams before being traded to the San Diego Padres.

What is the process for you when you get into a new team, getting comfortable on the field and also off the field with a new group?

Speaking with Dylan Cease on the Sportsnet Radio Network.

So you end up, you've made it three starts at the time that we're recording this.

How have you felt so far?

What has it been like for you to pitch in a blue chain uniform so far?

We saw maybe a different look from you in a way in your most recent start against the Dodgers where you featured a deeper mix of your pitches.
