Report: White Sox pitcher Cease hires Boras as agent

Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease is hiring Scott Boras and the Boras Corporation to represent him, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.

ACES Baseball Inc. previously represented the 26-year-old.

Cease had a breakout campaign in 2021, posting a 13-7 record with a 3.91 ERA and 3.41 FIP across 165 2/3 innings for the division-winning White Sox.

The Georgia native also completed last season with the highest strikeouts-per-nine rate (12.3) and third-most WAR (4.4) among American League starting pitchers, according to FanGraphs.

Cease is arbitration-eligible for the first time in 2023 and won't be available in free agency until 2026.
