Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease has been officially named one of three finalists for the 2026 American League Cy Young Award.

Cease posted an 11-6 record with a 2.40 ERA and 239 strikeouts across 169 innings after signing a seven-year, $210 million free-agent deal. Although the writer notes Schlittler appears to be the frontrunner to win the award, Cease led the league in multiple metrics including FIP and strikeouts per nine innings.
