Finnegan is kind of a meh closer, but should be fine given the way Hinch uses the buillpen.  I still hope they are not done even if it's just another guy at his level.    

Considering the cost Finnegan not a bad option. He's made 40 appearances and allowed no runs in 31 of those, 1 run in 5 others and multiple runs in 4 games, three of which came this month. Before July 10 his ERA was 2.36, with a FIP of 3.24. Hopefully he can shake off July.

Pittsburgh might prefer to keep Bednar for next year. He's not eligible for free agency until 2027.

Did we lose anything in Randall?

You'll never hear anything about the guy ever again.

Finnigan seems like one of those deals that  for years most all of us would say, "man, it only took that much to get that guy? Why weren't we in on him?" Well, this year we were. 

 

DD had a good habit of trading prospects for established stars who never did much. The one example that always sticks out to me is getting Gary Sheffield for three players who totaled 8 games played and a -.5 war in the majors. 

AA had the same strategy, but reverse. Trade our veterans for guys who did next to nothing. 

I think (hope), SH is going to follow the DD formula.

I like the Paddack and Finnigan deals -- they're solid additions at reasonable costs -- but the others are head-scratchers. I hope there's another deal to come before the deadline, but my gut says they're probably done.

Sewald would be a solid addition if healthy, but I have leaned never to expect anything from a pitcher coming off an injury.  He's OK as a cheap pickup, but I wish they had acquired one more healthy reliever.  They still might, but I suspect not.

If you don't like that historical analogy how about this from Greek mythology: the Impregnable Isle of Lesbos.

Always up for a discussion on Lesbos

I’m assuming this is adding him to the 40 man roster maybe, if even that?

[RatkoVarda]

not a crazy approach; get 6 new arms, hope 1 is dealing come October.

Yes, Heuer had been added to the 40-man, Enns is out.  Heuer assigned to Toledo.

So, missed most of the last 3 seasons with injuries. Pitching well this year at AAA in the PCL. Stick him in Toledo and go from there.

A lot of those scratches and dents will buff right out once Fetter gets them into the shop

That's OK  By asking questions, this allows people to pretend that they are smart or have no life.
