BREAKING NEWS: Detroit Tigers Urged To Move For Nationals All-Star Reliever As All-Star Break Nears….. view more

As the MLB All-Star Break approaches, trade rumors are intensifying, with the Detroit Tigers reportedly eyeing a significant acquisition to bolster their bullpen. According to recent reports, the Tigers are considering a move for Washington Nationals’ All-Star closer Kyle Finnegan. Finnegan, who is enjoying a career-best 2.49 ERA in a closing role, is a strong candidate given his age (33) and pending free agency. The Nationals, hovering near .500, face critical deadline decisions that could significantly shape the franchise’s long-term direction.

The Tigers, currently leading the American League in wins, are aiming for a strong postseason push. With pitcher Jackson Jobe on the 60-day injured list, the team recalled LHP Matt Gage from Triple-A Toledo, optioning RHP Beau Brieske in the process. Speculation is building around potential trades to address needs, particularly in strengthening the bullpen and finding a power-hitting third baseman. The Tigers are reportedly seen as serious trade deadline contenders.

Finnegan’s addition would provide the Tigers with a reliable late-inning option, complementing their existing bullpen. His experience and performance this season make him an attractive target as Detroit looks to solidify its roster ahead of the trade deadline.

As the All-Star Break nears, all eyes will be on the Tigers’ front office to see if they can secure a deal that strengthens their bullpen and positions them for a successful postseason
