Finnegan was the longest tenured National and now will pitch for the first place Tigers.(19:00) Who will be the new closer? Could it be Konnor Pilkington?(22:05) Josh Bell was not moved and Al wonders if Bell will continue to get DH at-bats at the expense of younger players in the final two months.(25:45) Mike DeBartolo had a very busy July after taking over as the Interim GM.
