Jack Flaherty and the Detroit Tigers have agreed to a two-year, $35 million contract with an opt-out after one season. Flaherty returns to Detroit after trading for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he excelled in the postseason. His regular season ERA improved significantly, showcasing his growth after a challenging career marred by injuries. He now stands as a reliable rotation arm for the Tigers, leveraging both his recent successes and prior accolades from his best season with the Cardinals in 2019.
Flaherty, 29, is young enough that he can still be considered an anchor in the rotation for his new team -- though he might not be the top-of-the-rotation guy that he came up as.
In doing so, he earned a rare dual accomplishment: playoff shares from two different teams.
