After a rocky road back from Tommy John Surgery that has seen him throw only 8.1 innings since 2022, Cade Cavalli should finally be healthy in 2025. Now the question is how should the Nats utilize their former first round pick. My suggestion is to let him rip out of the bullpen.
There are a couple reasons why they should do this. One is Cavalli’s health. He has not been able to hold up to a starters workload since being drafted, and has been ravaged by injuries. It is a similar story to what happened to Mason Miller of the A’s.
