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.
Lol, Finnegan will not be valuable for five years. His fastba velo is going to drop over the next couple seasons, at which point, he's done. Father Time is undefeated.
Second, he's a free agent after the 2025 season. So he's gone by the time this team is good.
Third, Finnegan isnt a back end of the bullpen reliever on a competitive team. He shouldnt be even on this team. He's middle relief. Which is important to have but not so irreplaceable that rebuilding teams shouldnt be looking to move them.
Again, value will never be higher. We should move him and anyone else that wont be here or good when this team is next competitive (2027+)
