The Washington Nationals are nearing a long-term contract extension with pitcher Cade Cavalli, according to reports from Yahoo Sports and The Athletic. The deal is described as close but not completed, with both outlets citing a similar timeline and positioning Washington as moving to secure him beyond the current contract.
Cavalli is presented as a key part of Washington’s current rotation. The Athletic notes he is Washington’s Opening Day starter and has emerged as a franchise cornerstone this season. Yahoo Sports similarly frames Cavalli as an “ace” and indicates the Nationals are working to finalize discussions with him for a long-term deal.
