Washington Nationals Cade Cavalli contract extension

Overview

Following a breakout season, the Washington Nationals agreed to a four-year, $47 million contract extension with right-handed pitcher Cade Cavalli. The deal, which covers 2027 through 2030 and includes a club option for 2031, was established after Cavalli posted a 12-5 record and 194 strikeouts.

Shortly after the extension was announced, the Nationals decided to shut Cavalli down for the remainder of the 2026 season to manage his workload and mitigate injury risks. This decision follows a highly productive campaign in which he pitched 169.2 innings and recorded 200 strikeouts.

Further details of the contract revealed that annual salaries will scale from $4 million in 2027 to $20 million in 2030. The agreement also includes a $4 million signing bonus scheduled for November 30, intended to protect the player from potential financial losses should a Major League Baseball lockout occur during the 2027 season.
