Over the last few weeks, a little undercurrent of chatter involving right-hander Jack Flaherty and the Detroit Tigers began to percolate. Now it has come to fruition as Jeff Passan reports that the Tigers and Flaherty have agreed on a one-year deal at $25 million with a player option for $10 million available to him for 2026. The Tigers rotation looks significantly improved, while this probably puts an end to speculation about Alex Bregman.
The terms of the deal are really perfect for what Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg are trying to do here. Obviously the Tigers like Jack Flaherty, and he liked playing for the Tigers and had great success.
