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. The .292 OBP would be by far the lowest of his career, and he is on pace to set a new career-high in strikeouts as well. More Nationals content from District on Deck
