And hear from Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic, who wrote more on the discussion revolving around the move for Abrams. Then, Tobi dives into the other big storyline, which is the continued breakout season for SP Cade Cavalli, who dazzled once again on the mound versus the Rangers this week. Hear from Nats Pitching Coach Simon Mathews on Cade Cavalli's demeanor and what makes him the Ace that he is becoming.
