Report: Tigers acquire RHP Kyle Finnegan from Nationals


Finnegan has served as the Nationals’ closer for parts of the last five seasons and ranks top five in franchise history in saves.

After being non-tendered in the fall, the 33-year-old returned to Washington on a one-year, $6 million deal and will become a free agent at the end of the season.

A six-foot-two right-hander, Finnegan has once again been a reliable option for the Nationals at the end of games, posting a 4.38 ERA and collecting 20 saves over 40 appearances in 2025.

Randall was Detroit’s third-round pick in 2024 and made his way to high-A this year, delivering a scoreless start in his debut at the level on Sunday.

Sales, a 10th-round pick from last year’s draft, has worked to a 2.71 ERA over 66.1 innings at low-A in his first pro season.

On Thursday, the Tigers also swung a deal for veteran righty reliever Paul Sewald with the Cleveland Guardians, following up Wednesday’s move for Rafael Montero from the Atlanta Braves.
