2025 Fantasy Outlook
Even though his metrics weren't eye-popping, Finnegan maintained higher stability than expected as the Nationals' closer, racking up a career-high 38 saves (third in the league) with a 95 percent team save share that was highest among closers. Somehow, the right-hander just kept getting the job done in the ninth inning despite giving up a ton of hard contact -- his 91.3 mph average exit velocity was a bottom-one percent of MLB -- and allowing plenty of traffic on the bases. His 1.34 WHIP ranked 18th out of the 20 closers who recorded 20-plus saves. Finnegan is coming off his first All-Star selection, but he's currently a free agent after Washington non-tendered him. He should draw plenty of interest due to his high-leverage experience, but closing is no guarantee. Read Past Outlooks
Saddled with blown save
Finnegan was charged with a blown save during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing no runs on one hit with one strikeout over 1.1 innings.
ANALYSIS
Finnegan stepped into the contest in the bottom of the eighth with a one-run lead, two outs and an inherited runner on second base. The 33-year-old closer surrendered a hit to Pete Alonso that plated the runner on second, but Alonso was thrown out attempting to stretch the hit out into a double. Still, the hit tied the game and resulted in Finnegan's fourth blown save of the campaign. In his last 10 appearances, Finnegan has allowed four runs (two earned) on 10 hits and a 6:1 K:BB across 10 innings. He's converted seven of his nine save chances during that stretch.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024

2022
2021
Finnegan was 14th in the majors with a career-high 28 saves for the Nationals, which represented a 66.7% team save share. The 32-year-old pitched a career-high 69.1 innings, but he may have run out of gas down the stretch as he posted a 7.63 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over the last month-and-a-half. His performance otherwise (2.55 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) was solid and he was Washington's highest leveraged reliever per WPA (1.88) and gmLI (1.90). Finnegan still relied heavily on his upper-90's fastball (70% usage), but he threw more split fingers (24.8%) since it was his most successful pitch (.167 BAA, 35.3% whiff) last year. However, the right-hander produced a career-worst strikeout rate (21.7%) and permitted 11 home runs (17.7% HR/FB%). With the Nationals playing more competitive ball, they may turn to a reliever with more upside for ninth inning duties. They have a few internal options (Harvey, Rainey), so don't be surprised if Finnegan gets fewer save opportunities in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave WSH via trade
Finnegan is one of the arms the Nationals might be open to trading this summer before the deadline, according to Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Finnegan is one of the top trade assets in the current Nationals roster, as he's enjoying an excellent season for the second consecutive campaign. Finnegan recorded 38 saves and posted a 3.68 ERA in 2024, but he has looked strong in 2025 as well after converting 18 of his 21 save opportunities while posting a 2.38 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP across 22.2 innings and 23 appearances.
