The Washington Nationals have locked in right-handed pitcher Cade Cavalli for another year with a one-year deal, avoiding salary arbitration. This agreement, worth $862,500, includes a 2027 club option valued at $4 million with a buyout of $7,500. But here's where it gets interesting: Cavalli filed for $900,000, and the Nationals offered $825,000. With the buyout, Cavalli's total compensation comes out to $870,000. This deal marks a significant step for Cavalli, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and is looking to rebuild his career. The 27-year-old had a solid 2023 season, going 3-1 with a 4.25 ERA in 10 starts. However, his big-league debut in 2022 was less than stellar, giving up seven runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings. In his career, Cavalli has a 3-2 record with a 5.09 ERA in 11 starts. So, what do you think? Is this a fair deal for both parties? Or is there more to this story that we're missing?
