Kyle Finnegan Not Expected to See Many Save Opportunities?
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan may not see many save opportunities to open the season. On a recent podcast, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch broke down his bullpen plan for the start of the season. While he suggested that Kenley Jansen would be the favorite to open the season as the team's primary night-inning option, given his history and track record, Hinch did say that all of his high-leverage options would be available at all times of the game. Finnegan has served as a primary closer for most of his career with the Washington Nationals. In 2023 and 2024, he tallied 28 saves in each campaign. Last summer, he was on pace to hit this mark again, but fell short after he was traded to Detroit and appears ticketed for a setup role once more. Managers in formats that reward holds should still view Finnegan as a primary target, given his experience as a high-leverage option. However, for those in shallower standard formats, Finnegan should be avoided in drafts.
