Nats Re-Sign Finnegan: Smart Move or Risky Gamble? Join the Debate! 

The recent news of the Nationals re-signing Kyle Finnegan has sparked quite a bit of discussion, and it raises some intriguing questions about the state of the team and the bullpen landscape in general. Finnegan, who has had a rollercoaster of a career with the Nats, is coming off a season where his performance was notably inconsistent. With a solid first half but a troubling second half, can we expect him to regain his form and be a reliable closer again?

This brings us to a broader conversation: how much do you think a player's past performance should influence their future contracts? The Nationals opted to non-tender Finnegan last November, only to bring him back at a lower price. Was this a savvy move, or does it reflect a lack of confidence in their bullpen depth?

Moreover, with the Nats in a rebuilding phase, how crucial is it for them to have experienced veterans like Finnegan in the mix? Are they simply looking for trade chips as the season progresses, or is there a genuine belief that they can contend sooner rather than later?

And let's not forget about the other teams in the league. The Cardinals and Astros are reportedly still in talks regarding Nolan Arenado, which could shake up the entire NL landscape. If Arenado does get traded, how do you think that will impact the playoff race?

Lastly, with the recent passing of Guardians owner Larry Dolan, what does this mean for the future of the franchise? Will there be a shift in strategy or spending under new ownership?

I’m eager to hear your thoughts on these topics! What are your predictions for Finnegan's season? How do you see the Nats' strategy playing out? And what implications do you think the Arenado talks will have on the league? Let’s dive into it!
