Kyle Finnegan didn’t just re-sign with the Detroit Tigers. He re-signed with an idea that would’ve sounded laughable in this town not that long ago.
This is a Tigers bullpen that now features the game’s No. 1 active saves leader, the No. 13 active saves leader, and the club’s 2025 saves leader — a combination so rare that Elias Sports Bureau says no team has ever opened a season with three relievers who all had 20-plus saves the year before.
And Finnegan? He’s thrilled about it. That alone tells you how far this franchise has come.
