2024 MLB Trade Deadline

[Senatorswin]

Reducing a closer's value to saves and blown saves is simplistic.  A closer in today's game doesn't only pitch in save situations in the final inning.   
At the beginning of the year I said that Finnegan would be a set-up man at best on a good team.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's very rare for Finnegan to pitch in anything but the save situation therefore he should be evaluated on that. You may be right he would be a setup man on a good team, although he was an all-star this season, he is the closer on this team.

F I...double-N E...G A N spells 'Finnnegan'!!!  I hope we'll be singing along to that in October of 2025.

The Orioles used to have a closer named Don Stanhouse. Earl Weaver called him full pack.

They miss that Nats coaching.

They miss that Nats coaching.

It's called The Curse of Brad Hand.

It's when you have PTSD from being part of this org that you put up a 7 ERA or .270 OPS with your new team
