Nationals Avoid Arbitration With Cavalli Via Club-Option Deal

The Washington Nationals avoided arbitration with right-hander Cade Cavalli by agreeing to a one-year 2026 contract that includes a club option for 2027. The 2026 salary is about $862.5K, and the club option carries a $4M value with a $7,500 buyout, guaranteeing Cavalli roughly $870K overall. The multi-year setup sidesteps arbitration precedent, and Cavalli comes off a 2025 showing (4.25 ERA over ten starts) that suggests mid-rotation potential behind a group that could include MacKenzie Gore, Josiah Gray, Jake Irvin, and others.

Nationals' Prospect Cade Cavalli Out for 2023 Season After Tommy John Surgery

Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli will miss the entire 2023 season after requiring Tommy John surgery for a grade 3 UCL sprain.

The Nationals will likely rely on non-roster invitee Chad Kuhl to round out their rotation, with Joan Adon and Cory Abbott as depth options. Manager Davey Martinez is comfortable with the club's existing rotation depth, but the free agent market for additional options is slim.
