The Washington Nationals have a big starting pitching problem right now. Outside of MacKenzie Gore, the rotation has been a big disappointment. Guys like Jake Irvin and Mitchell Parker have taken a step back. The Nats also need a fifth starter, with Trevor Williams out for the season. Despite poor numbers in AAA, it is time to give Cade Cavalli a shot.
At this point, with the season all but over and Cavalli almost 27 years old, it is just time to see what he can do in the big leagues. Yes, he has poor numbers in Triple-A, but what do the Washington Nationals have to lose.
