The Detroit Tigers acquired Kyle Finnegan from Washington for two prospects, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press just hours before Thursday's trade deadline.

In the most recent pick-up, the Tigers acquired Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan, a Detroit native. According to published reports Detroit sent pitching prospects Josh Randall and RJ Sales Thursday. Finnegan has 20 saves in 26 chances, is 1-4 with a 4.38 ERA, as the latest boost to the bullpen.

The Detroit Tigers showed interest in right-handed reliever Kyle Finnegan during free agency, but he signed with the Washington Nationals instead.
