MLB Trade Rumors: Nationals' Kyle Finnegan, Hunter Harvey, Lane Thomas Eyed by Teams

The Washington Nationals have reportedly received interest from rival teams regarding trades for pitchers Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey and outfielder Lane Thomas.

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported the Nationals are not considered sellers at this point as they're currently tied for the final NL Wild Card spot. However, trade talks could ramp up if Washington starts to fall out of contention before the deadline.

Finnegan, 32, is in the midst of a career-best season. He's posted a 1.78 ERA and 0.86 ERA while striking out 31 batters in 30.1 innings pitched. Headed for arbitration after the 2024 season, Finnegan could be in line for a sizable raise from his $5.1 million salary.

Harvey has been one of the Nationals' most consistent relievers over his three years with the team. He has a 2.75 ERA and 1.06 WHIP while striking out 41 batters in 33 appearances, his third straight season below a 3.00 ERA. The 29-year-old is also set to hit arbitration this winter ahead of free agency in 2026.

Thomas, in his third season as a fixture in the Nationals outfield, has seen his stats downtick from his career-best 2023. He's hitting .238/.299/.402 with seven home runs and 23 runs batted in while also stealing 16 bases. The 28-year-old is on pace to break his career high of 20 steals set last season, but he's also consistently struck out at the plate while rarely drawing walks.

Thomas is making $5.5 million this season ahead of arbitration in 2025.
