CHICAGO (AP) — Dylan Cease said his final season with the Chicago White Sox “wasn’t enjoyable in really any way.” The ace right-hander had a tough year, and the team struggled. He’s having a much better time with the San Diego Padres. “It’s definitely really exciting coming to the ballpark,” Cease said. “Again with the Sox though, I mean, I really felt like we had that talent. We just didn’t put it together.” Cease is back in Chicago this week for a three-game series against the Cubs. The Padres also play the White Sox this season, but the three-game set is at San Diego in September. The 28-year-old Cease was selected by the Cubs in the sixth round of the 2014 amateur draft. He starts the series finale at Wrigley Field on Wednesday. “It’s always good to come back,” he said before Monday night’s matchup. “Obviously I don’t have quite as much history with the Cubs, but I enjoy Wrigley. I enjoy Chicago.” |
