The Tigers, in an effort to bolster their weakest link for a World Series run, have acquired closer Kyle Finnegan from the Nationals for two minor leaguers.

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

The Washington Nationals have traded relievers Andrew Chafin and Luis Garcia to the Los Angeles Angels, according to a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The Angels will send back lefty Jake Eder as part of the return going back to the Nationals.
