The 33-year-old right-hander was non-tendered by the Nationals last month in a surprising move since he had pitched to a 3.68 ERA with 38 saves in 63 2/3 innings in 2024. Instead of trading him at the deadline, the Nationals held onto him and then let Finnegan go rather than pay him $8 million a year. The Cubs do have some questions at the back of their bullpen, so it's possible that Finnegan could compete for saves alongside Porter Hodge, Tyson Miller, and Nate Pearson if the Cubs were to sign him.
