The Detroit Tigers showed interest in right-handed reliever Kyle Finnegan during free agency, but he signed with the Washington Nationals instead.

Finnegan, 33, was acquired from the Washington Nationals for a pair of High-A pitching prospects – 2024 draft picks Josh Randall (ranked No. 15 in the Tigers' system, per MLB Pipeline) and R.J. Sales.

The Detroit Tigers made a splash ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, shoring up the bullpen in a deal with the Washington Nationals. The Tigers are finalizing a trade to acquire closer Kyle Finnegan from the Nationals, according to FanSided's Robert Murray.
