After non-tendering Kyle Finnegan, the Nationals will head into 2025 with a new closer. The question is who will it be. With the reliever market yet to develop, there are plenty of external options available. However, there are a couple intriguing candidates already on the roster that will be explored.
Free agency options
With most of the best free agent closers still on the market, the Nationals have a chance to pounce if they want to bring in a veteran with closing experience. Tanner Scott is the top reliever on the market, but it is difficult to imagine the Nationals spending top of the market money to a closer given their other more pressing needs.
