The Tigers pursued depth over splash at the deadline, adding seven pitchers to reinforce rotation and bullpen while protecting top prospects. Finnegan’s late-season surge culminated in a 0.00 ERA over seven outings with four saves, paired with Will Vest to anchor the closer mix. Paddack and Morton bolster a thinning rotation, while Seawald, Montero, Dobnak and Heuer offer MLB experience for mid-innings. No third-base upgrade, but the balance has yielded immediate positives and could fuel a postseason push.
