After landing Paul Sewald in a surprise deal with the Cleveland Guardians, the Detroit Tigers stayed aggressive on Thursday. Detroit is clearly doubling down on improving its bullpen ahead of the 2025 trade deadline.

The Detroit Tigers needed right-now help in the bullpen if they want to make a strong run when October comes around.

The Nationals made only two more deals before this evening's trade deadline passed, sending Kyle Finnegan to the Tigers and Alex Call to the Dodgers, ultimately choosing to retain two veterans on expiring contracts and a host of players under club control headlined by MacKenzie Gore.
