Episode Details

The Washington Nationals are reportedly closing in on a major contract extension with pitcher Cade Cavalli — a bold move by new president Paul Toboni that signals the team’s commitment to building around young talent. Still years away from salary arbitration, Cavalli, a promising right-handed starter, is set to lock in long-term security while giving the Nats pitching stability and future upside. This marks the first big pre-arbitration deal since Keibert Ruiz’s 2023 signing, and it’s a smart, forward-thinking play for both player and franchise.
