RT @MLBNetwork: .@JonHeyman's best moves from the offseason: - Dylan Cease to TOR - Pete Alonso to BAL - Alex Bregman t Via @JonHeyman on X

What happened: Jon Heyman highlighted Dylan Cease, Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman as his top offseason moves. The timing lands with Cease already back in the late-season awards conversation.

Why it matters: That gives the offseason verdict current weight instead of leaving it as a winter talking point. Cease's performance has already affected the 2026 race, and Alonso and Bregman remain central examples of moves that still carry September value.

By the numbers: Cease worked eight hitless innings with 11 strikeouts on July 8, and Wire Report revisited his AL Cy Young case on Sept. 1 and Sept. 3.

What to watch: Cease's stretch-run form will keep shaping whether this looks like the offseason's best move by impact, not just by projection. Any September push tied to Alonso or Bregman would strengthen Heyman's case further.
