The market for free agent reliever Kyle Finnegan has reportedly picked up.
Fantasy Impact
This comes with Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates off the market, leaving Finnegan and Carlos Estevez as two of the top relievers still available. It is unclear what teams have expressed interest in Finnegan outside of the Cubs.
The Nationals have non-tendered Kyle Finnegan.
Fantasy Impact
Finnegan posted a 3.67 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, and 38 saves in 65 games last season. The 33-year-old should draw interest as a closer or setup man.
Kyle Finnegan notched his 38th save of the season in a tight contest against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed one hit and struck out a batter in a scoreless inning, sealing a 4-1 victory for the Nationals. Finnegan's performance continues to be a mixed bag for fantasy managers. While his save count is impressive, his FIP and WHIP suggest potential volatility, which could be concerning. However, his consistent save opportunities in high-leverage situations keep him relevant in all fantasy formats, especially in leagues that heavily reward saves. Owners should keep an eye on his outings for signs of improvement or regression in his peripheral stats.
Kyle Finnegan secured his 37th save of the season in a tidy performance against the Marlins, allowing just one hit in a scoreless inning as the Nationals claimed a 4-1 victory.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not recording any strikeouts, Finnegan effectively managed contact to preserve the win. His season ERA now sits at 3.36, with a WHIP of 1.27, maintaining his role as a reliable closer for fantasy teams. However, his lower strikeout rate (8.5 K/9) and higher FIP (4.36) suggest some caution; he isn't overpowering hitters, and his success is somewhat dependent on solid defense and favorable ball-in-play outcomes. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a save source but be wary of potential rough patches if his strikeout rate doesn't improve.
Kyle Finnegan delivered a flawless outing, securing a save as the Nationals edged the Pirates 8-6.
Fantasy Impact
He threw 19 pitches over a clean inning, allowing no hits or walks and striking out two. This performance underscores Finnegan's role as a reliable closer for the Nationals, despite a somewhat turbulent season marked by a 3.47 ERA and five blown saves. His ability to maintain a solid strikeout rate (8.7 K/9) and a decent WHIP (1.30) keeps him relevant in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of saves. However, his elevated FIP (4.43) suggests potential volatility, so fantasy managers should remain cautious, especially in critical matchups.
