He's 31. This is as valuable as he's going to get.  He is the definition of an older guy who can help a contending team down the stretch.

His value will never be higher than it is now. Take what you can get. His role as "backup closer" can go to any rando you want. There's a zero percent chance of this team pitching their closer three days in a row.

Finnegan can be a very valuable reliever for the next 5 years easy. The value of a 7th or 8th inning reliever should not be minimized. The Oriole relievers were a huge reason for their success last year. With starters only going 6 innings the back end of the bullpen is critical. Ask the Red Sox how valuable a good bullpen is. Their season was ruined by a bad pen. There's no reason to trade him.
