Scout’s note

Cavalli came out of Tulsa as a 2020 first-rounder and debuted in Washington that August, and at 28 he's striking out the ninth-most hitters in baseball — 177 across 152.2 MLB innings with a 3.12 ERA. He's ungraded in the Index by design: our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it, not even one worth 3.3 WAR. The ERA-FIP luck gap cleared our bar, and we handle those calls by hand until the model earns its keep.

Current signals

The read: Cavalli is in the Index ungraded, on purpose: our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it — not even one of the best seasons in the sport. (Calls are another matter: the ERA-FIP luck gap did clear the bar, and we file arm regression calls by hand from it.) The page is here because the player matters; the board grade waits for the science.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Washington Nationals.

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 27, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
