Keibert Ruiz

A stunner. Finnegan's arbitration salaries have been inflated by his save counts, but the Nationals could have traded him at any point in the last couple of years and gotten something for him. Plus, it's not like they have much else they're spending money on; not counting what they still owe Stephen Strasburg, Keibert Ruiz is their highest-paid player at $5.4 million. Finnegan wound up with a 3.68 ERA and 38 saves in 63 2/3 innings last season. It's fine if the Nationals think they can put the $8 million-$9 million they're saving here to better use, but they knew this day was coming months ago and still didn't flip him for a prospect at the deadline.
