On Saturday, before the Washington Nationals finalized an awesome, 2-0 victory over their NL East rival Philadelphia Phillies, the team finalized the tenure of their prized offseason acquisition. While the story of the day was undoubtedly Cade Cavalli, who was lights-out over 7 scoreless innings against a high-powered Phillies lineup, it was the move to release that former player which finally set in.
Nathaniel Lowe, who had been the team's first baseman for the vast majority of the season, is now officially a free agent who is able to sign with any other club.
