Kyle Finnegan had never pitched in the major leagues, yet the Washington Nationals signed him to a major league contract last offseason. The risk paid off.
If you did a double take last offseason when the Washington Nationals signed pitcher Kyle Finnegan to a major league contract, you weren’t alone. I am also guessing Finnegan’s Baseball-Reference page has never seen as much traffic as it did the day he signed, December 8th.
