Story summary

Pitcher Cade Cavalli signed a $47 million, four-year contract with the Washington Nationals on Friday, extending through the 2030 season. The deal includes an option for the team to extend it until 2031. Originally, Cavalli was set to earn just over $862,500 this year and had a $4 million team option for 2027 with a buyout. This new contract means he won’t receive that buyout.

The Nationals’ president of baseball operations, Paul Toboni, praised Cavalli’s work ethic, resilience, and leadership skills in his statement. At age 28, Cavalli has compiled a record of 12-5 this season with a 3.12 ERA and is tied for ninth in the major leagues with 194 strikeouts. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 29 out of 31 starts so far, which is the most in baseball this year.
