Nationals’ reliever Kyle Finnegan relished working with Paul Menhart...

WASHINGTON - When reliever Kyle Finnegan made his Major League debut in July, his pitching coach for the Nationals was Paul Menhart.

That will not be the case when Kyle Finnegan heads to Spring Training in February – the contract of Menhart was not extended earlier this month.

“I have nothing but good things to say about him,” Finnegan 29, told Federal Baseball on Monday. “I wish him the best. Our time working together was great. He helped me get my feet wet and get some confidence and we worked out some mechanical things early on in Spring Training.
