It’s hard to tell the story of the Washington Nationals over the past five years without Kyle Finnegan. On Thursday, however, the Nationals determined that the 33-year-old closer won’t be a part of their next chapter. They sent him to the Detroit Tigers for right-handed pitching prospects Josh Randall and R.J. Sales.

The Nats got Eriq Swan in a trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers about an hour before Thursday's deadline. They also got Sean Paul Linan in the deal that sent outfielder Alex Call to L.A. The return was reported by Andrew Golden of the Washington Post.
