"The injury in question was a sports hernia that required surgery at the end of October. Torres said he'd been playing through the pain for most of the season's second half, which explains his rather stark splits. After hitting .281/.387/.425 in 359 plate appearances prior to the All-Star break, Torres slumped to a .223/.320/.339 slash line in his final 269 regular-season plate appearances, plus he hit only .235/.316/.382 over 38 postseason PA."
"For Flaherty, he ended up choosing the Tigers for the third straight offseason. Flaherty inked a one-year, $14MM free agent pact with Detroit in December 2023, and he ended up winning a World Series ring with the Dodgers after the righty was dealt to Los Angeles at the trade deadline. Flaherty then returned to Motown on a two-year, $35MM guarantee, which broke down as a $5MM signing bonus, a $20MM salary in 2025, and then $10MM in 2026."
Torres underwent surgery for a sports hernia at the end of October after playing through pain for most of the season's second half, which accounts for his stark splits. He hit .281/.387/.425 in 359 plate appearances before the All-Star break, then slumped to a .223/.320/.339 line in his final 269 regular-season plate appearances and hit .235/.316/.382 over 38 postseason PA. His overall numbers were .258/.358/.387 with 16 homers in 628 PA. The Tigers extended a $22.025MM qualifying offer and expect a healthy Torres to resemble his first-half form. Torres receives a raise and returns to a familiar environment. Flaherty re-signed with Detroit on a two-year, $35MM guarantee with bonuses and qualifying-offer implications.
