Nats Select Cade Cavalli with 1st Rd. Pick

Ordinarily, this would be just a pic of the latest righthanded pitcher the Nats took with their first pick (joining Jackson Rutledge in 2019 and Mason Denaburg in 2018), then we’d launch into News & Notes from the four full-season affiliates.

But there’s no news and no notes…

So I won’t pretend that I follow this stuff closely and/or know what I’m talking about; I’ll let other folks tell you about Mr. Cavalli:

• District on Deck
• Washington Post
• MASN
• SI Sooners<sup>*
  * And there’s the answer to the question “Who can fall farther and faster from relevance than the Sporting News?”</sup>

In case you missed it yesterday, Rounds 2-5 will be televised tonight on ESPN2 and the MLB Network. Teams will then be welcome to sign any NDFAs for a maximum of $20,000.
