The San Diego Padres are reportedly exploring the idea of trading away some of their stars this winter, specifically those on expiring contracts. San Diego has built a roster of very expensive players and it’s starting to come back to bite the organization.
One of the top trade candidates is ace Dylan Cease. Cease is projected to sign a $108 million deal in free agency, per Spotrac, after his contract expires at the end of next season.
Bleacher Report’s Zachary Rymer recently predicted the Padres to trade Cease to the Baltimore Orioles this winter. Rymer put together a trade package that would send Cease to Baltimore for two young prospects.
SAN DIEGO, CA – AUGUST 22: Dylan Cease #84 of the San Diego Padres pitches during the first inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets, August 22, 2024 at Petco Park in… SAN DIEGO, CA – AUGUST 22: Dylan Cease #84 of the San Diego Padres pitches during the first inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets, August 22, 2024 at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

Here’s the deal pitched by Rymer which would send Cease to the Orioles to replace Burnes:
Baltimore Orioles receive: RHP Dylan Cease
San Diego Padres receive: OF Heston Kjerstad, OF Enrique Bradfield Jr. (No. 4 prospect)
“According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the O’s were in on Cease even before they lost Corbin Burnes to the D-backs,” Rymer wrote. “With his exit now official, the need for an ace atop Baltimore’s starting rotation is certainly that much more glaring. As Cease is ticketed for free agency after 2025, the Orioles would be running the same play they ran on Burnes if they were to trade for him.
“It could prove to be an upgrade. Whereas Burnes is declining as a whiff artist, Cease was in the 92nd percentile for whiff rate this year. Though Baltimore’s farm system is not what it used to be, the organization still has more hitters than it has room for. San Diego should want in on that group.”
Trading for Cease right now makes more sense for Baltimore than trading for Burnes a year ago.
While Burnes is the better pitcher of the two and both pitchers were on expiring contracts, Cease is actually in the Orioles’ price range to re-sign. Trading for Burnes was almost certainly going to be a one-year rental. Trading for Cease doesn’t have to be a rental for Baltimore.
Reports out of San Diego suggest that the Padres are considering trading promising young pitcher Dylan Cease to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for a two-player package. Cease, who has shown flashes of brilliance on the mound, could be a valuable asset for the Orioles as they look to bolster their pitching staff.
While the details of the potential trade have not been confirmed, sources close to the Padres organization indicate that the deal could involve two players from the Orioles’ farm system. This move could help the Padres shore up their roster as they compete in a tough NL West division.
It remains to be seen whether this trade will come to fruition, but it’s clear that the Padres are exploring all options to improve their team. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
Restrictions on Title IX have been include in the new Republican rules package (Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle via Getty Images)
House Republicans revealed their proposed rules package for the 119th Congress and it includes a measure to restrict Title IX protections for trans people.
The proposed rules package – which the incoming Congress is scheduled to vote on this Friday (3 January) – includes a raft of changes to the House’s order of operations such as making it more difficult to remove the speaker of the House, changing the names of committees, eliminate the House Office of Diversity and Inclusion and allowing committees to adopt electronic voting.
As well as this, the 36-page package also set the stage for fast-tracked consideration of several Republican bills, including amending immigration laws, prohibit any moratorium on fracking and define Title IX protections solely on the basis on biological sex – effectively preventing protection from discrimination for trans athletes.
The section focused on Title IX reads: “…amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”

Title IX is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation which protects people from discrimination based on sex, in education programmes or activities that receive federal financial assistance, and is best-known for ensuring gender equality in college sports.
The statute reads: ″No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
In April 2024, president Joe Biden finalised new anti-discrimination rules – first proposed in 2022 – which aim to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment, providing explicit protections for LGBTQ+ pupils and expressly prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
However, several Republican-controlled states vowed to reject the law, suing the Biden administration and labelling the legislation “illegal, undemocratic and divorced from reality”, claiming it puts “women at risk”.
“The Department recognizes that there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity, including lawsuits related to Title IX’s application to athletic eligibility criteria in a variety of factual contexts,” a press release from the department on 26 December states.
“In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time. Therefore, the Department hereby withdraws the Athletics NPRM and terminates this rulemaking proceeding.”
Notably absent in the new rules package there was Republican Nancy Mace’s Capitol anti-trans bathroom ban, which she previously said house speaker Mike Johnson “assured [her] it would be in the House rules package”.

South Carolina congresswoman Mace introduced the resolution back in November which sought to prohibit trans lawmakers – namely targeting incoming Democrat Sarah McBride – from using “single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
Mace admitted she solely proposed the ban because of McBride, who will become the first-ever out trans member of congress when she is sworn in on Friday.
When the resolution was passed – ironically on Trans Day of Remembrance – Johnson said: “Single-sex facilities in the Capitol and house office buildings, such as restrooms, changing rooms and locker rooms, are reserved for individuals of that biological sex. Women deserve women’s only spaces”.
However, with it not being included in the new rules package it leaves trans lawmakers and staffers in the Capitol a state of limbo.

Thanks for your feedback!
Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities, has long been a critical protection for LGBTQ+ students. However, recent moves by Republican lawmakers have put these protections under fire.
In a rules package introduced by House Republicans, language was included that would narrow the definition of “sex” under Title IX to refer only to biological sex, effectively excluding transgender and gender non-conforming individuals from its protections. This change would have devastating consequences for LGBTQ+ students, who already face high rates of discrimination and violence in schools.
By eroding Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, Republicans are sending a dangerous message that discrimination and exclusion are acceptable in our education system. It is crucial that we fight back against these harmful policies and stand up for the rights of all students, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
We must urge lawmakers to reject these discriminatory changes and support inclusive policies that protect all students. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, and we must continue to advocate for equality and justice for all. #TitleIX #LGBTQ+ #ProtectTransKids

The 119th U.S. Congress has indicated that taking legislative action to ban trans athletes from women’s and girls’ sports will be a top priority this month.
The House rules package for the 119th Congress was posted this week, and the first step in its order of business is a bill that would bring about Title IX revisions that would only allow athletes to compete in the gender category that they were assigned at birth.
“A bill to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth,” the first point in the final section of the package reads.
The package stated that the bill would be the first of 12 bills under separate consideration, with one hour of debate.
Republicans re-took control of the White House and Senate while retaining the House of Representatives in November’s election after a heated campaign season in which trans inclusion in women’s sports became a key issue.
President-elect Donald Trump pledged to instill a full-on ban on trans athletes in women’s sports to the near unanimous support of Republican allies.
Currently, 25 states in the U.S. have laws in place to restrict or prevent trans athletes from competing in women’s sports. But the other 25 states have no such laws and many, like California, even have laws in place to specifically enable trans athletes to compete against women or girls.
But even the states with laws in place to prevent trans athletes in women’s sports have had their laws overridden by federal judges this year. Judges Landya McCafferty of New Hampshire and M. Hannah Lauck of Virginia each passed rulings in 2024 that enabled biological males to play on high school girls’ soccer and tennis teams. Both judges were appointed by former President Obama in the early 2010s.
Meanwhile, Democrats have endorsed multiple bills that would allow trans inclusion in women’s sports at the national level, including the Equality Act and the Transgender Bill of Rights.
It was an issue that prompted fierce criticism against Democrats and the Biden administration from the day President Biden took office in January 2021.
On his first day in office, he issued an executive order on “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.” The order included a section that read, “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”
The administration then issued a sweeping rule that clarified that Title IX’s ban on “sex” discrimination in schools covers discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation and “pregnancy or related conditions,” in April. The administration insisted the regulation does not address athletic eligibility. However, multiple experts presented evidence to Fox News Digital in June that it would ultimately put more biological men in women’s sports.
Multiple states filed lawsuits and enacted their own laws to address this issue, and then the Supreme Court then voted 5-4 in August to reject an emergency request by the Biden administration to enforce its sweeping changes in those states.
The issue proved to be one of the key campaign vulnerabilities for Vice President Harris and Democrats across the nation in the past election.
A national exit poll conducted by the Concerned Women for America legislative action committee found that 70% of moderate voters saw the issue of “Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender boys and men playing girls’ and women’s sports and of transgender boys and men using girls’ and women’s bathrooms” as important to them.
And 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was “very important.”
Multiple Democrats have since withdrawn their support for it. Biden’s Department of Education gave up on a proposed rule change that would have punished schools for preventing trans athletes from competing in women’s sports in December. The rule was proposed in April 2023, but it is now just a failed venture as Biden prepares to leave office.

The new House rules package includes a top priority bill aimed at keeping transgender athletes out of women’s sports. The bill, which has sparked heated debate and controversy, seeks to establish guidelines for determining an athlete’s eligibility to compete in women’s sports based on their biological sex.
Supporters of the bill argue that allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports creates an unfair advantage and undermines the integrity of women’s sports. They believe that biological differences between males and females give male-to-female transgender athletes an edge over their female counterparts.
On the other hand, opponents of the bill argue that transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in the sports category that aligns with their gender identity, not their biological sex. They argue that excluding transgender athletes from women’s sports is discriminatory and goes against the principles of fairness and inclusion.
The debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports is likely to continue as the bill makes its way through the legislative process. Stay tuned for updates on this controversial issue.
When the U.S. House of Representatives convenes on January 3, its members will vote on a suite of new rules proposed by Republicans. But one high-profile proposal is conspicuously absent from the GOP’s day-one agenda: Rep. Nancy Mace’s much-ballyhooed Capitol Hill bathroom ban.
Mace, whose transphobia has peaked in the weeks since the 2024 election, introduced legislation on November 18 that would restrict access to all “single-sex facilit[ies] on Federal property” based on “biological sex” alone. On November 20, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson released a statement asserting that “all single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings […] are reserved for individuals of that biological sex.” Representative-elect Sarah McBride, the first trans woman to be elected to Congress, quickly agreed to follow such a rule while in office — but Johnson has not provided further details about how that policy would be defined or enforced, placing trans people who visit or work at Capitol Hill in limbo.
The proposed rules package, on which the incoming 119th Congress is scheduled to vote this Friday, contains no mention of restricting government facilities by assigned sex. One section lists legislation that would be fast-tracked to a final vote, which does include amending Title IX to officially restrict school athletics based on assigned sex, but Mace and Johnson’s bathroom ban proposals are nowhere to be seen.
It’s not clear whether Republicans consider Johnson’s November statement to be an enforceable rule in itself, or have simply backed away from the issue. Mace previously told HuffPost in November that Johnson had “assured [her] it would be in the House rules package.” (Them emailed Johnson’s office for comment but did not receive a reply at time of writing.) In December, more than a dozen activists including Raquel Willis and Chelsea Manning were arrested during a sit-in protest opposing a bathroom ban and calling on Democrats to block Mace’s legislation.
Even if Johnson had included a bathroom ban in his rules package, a potential Republican revolt on Friday could sink it or end Johnson’s speakership entirely. One of Johnson’s proposals would significantly heighten the requirements for a motion to vacate: If passed, such a motion would only be considered “privileged” (meaning it must be voted on immediately) if it is sponsored by nine members of the majority party. Such a rule would effectively prevent Democrats, as the current minority party, from passing a motion to vacate altogether, and would make it significantly harder for Republicans to remove Johnson than it was for them to get rid of Kevin McCarthy in 2022.
Johnson is already set to enter with the narrowest House majority since the Great Depression, and although he reportedly brokered a deal within his party to approve this rule in November, it would only require a few Republican defections to scuttle the ship — either by voting down Johnson’s rules, or removing Johnson himself. One has already emerged: GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, who says he will not vote for Johnson as Speaker when called on Friday.
“He won by being the least objectionable candidate, and he no longer possesses that title,” Massie said of Johnson in a post on X, formerly Twitter, this week. “[T]he emperor has no clothes and the entire conference knows it but few will say it.”
On Tuesday, Republicans on Capitol Hill released their proposed House Rules package for the upcoming term. However, one controversial provision was conspicuously absent: Nancy Mace’s proposed ban on transgender individuals using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
Mace, a freshman Republican representative from South Carolina, made headlines last year when she announced her intention to introduce a ban on transgender individuals using bathrooms that do not match the sex on their birth certificate. The move was widely criticized by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and was seen as a discriminatory measure targeting transgender individuals.
Despite Mace’s vocal support for the bathroom ban, it seems that her colleagues in the House Republican caucus have decided not to include the provision in their proposed House Rules package. The omission is a surprising development, as Mace had previously stated that she would push for the ban to be included in the package.
It remains to be seen whether Mace will continue to pursue her anti-trans bathroom ban through other means, or if this marks a shift in the Republican Party’s stance on the issue. LGBTQ+ advocates are hopeful that the absence of the ban from the House Rules package signals a more inclusive approach to transgender rights within the party.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
