Tigers get Nats closer Finnegan to fortify bullpen

The Detroit Tigers have acquired closer Kyle Finnegan from the Washington Nationals in a move to strengthen their bullpen for a potential World Series push. The Tigers, seeking to address their bullpen woes, have traded two minor league players to the Nationals in exchange for Finnegan, who has been a reliable closer for the Nationals this season. Finnegan, 31, has recorded 13 saves and posted a 3.78 ERA in 41 innings pitched for the Nationals this year. The Tigers, currently leading their division, are hoping that Finnegan's experience and proven track record will help solidify their bullpen and increase their chances of making a deep playoff run. The trade demonstrates the Tigers' commitment to improving their roster and their determination to compete for a championship this season. The acquisition of Finnegan is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Tigers' bullpen as they continue their pursuit of the World Series title.
