JD on Cade Cavalli (Jun 29, 2026): Feel like Cade Cavalli is a right-handed Mackenzie Gore, so why am I so much lower on him than I am on Gore? I don't really have a good reason although for both of them I feel like eventually something is going to click and they're going to go from a low 4 ERA to a low 3 ERA in the blink of an eye. Caballero is striking out more than a guy per inning and he's entrenched in the Nationals rotation, so he's a good piece to have in deeper leagues. Unfortunately, there's just not a spot for him in shallower lakes because he is so hit or miss on a game-to-game basis.
JD on Chris Sale (Jun 11, 2026): I'm glad Chris Sale had one more career renaissance in him after he left the Red Sox. I remember buying low on him after the trade was completed and I rode him all the way to his Cy Young that year. It's crazy to see him still performing at that high level. and I don't see why he can't do it into his early 40's. He's one of the safer late-30s pitchers that I can imagine.
