Jack Flaherty, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series hero, is now a free agent after a standout season capped by a championship ring.
The right-hander posted a solid 3.17 ERA across 28 starts, with some key postseason performances to boot. As Flaherty explores his options, the market for his services is still taking shape, though a familiar destination may be in play.
According to Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller, the Detroit Tigers—one of Flaherty’s former teams—could be a prime contender for his return.
However, Miller notes that while a reunion with the Tigers is possible, their primary focus has been on securing Alex Bregman.
Still, Detroit’s dire need for pitching during the 2024 postseason and the trade that sent Flaherty to the Dodgers at the deadline suggest the door isn’t entirely closed on a return.
If the Tigers miss out on Bregman, they might quickly shift gears and extend a lucrative four-year, $100 million offer to Flaherty, potentially making him the anchor of their rotation alongside reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.
