What the staff says

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.
