Jack Flaherty, a free agent, is now open to considering a short-term deal, as reported by Ken Rosenthal. If the Los Angeles Dodgers miss out on Roki Sasaki, Flaherty could be an appealing alternative, especially since he’s already won a championship with the team.
The race for Roki Sasaki has been unpredictable, with shifting favorites. While the Los Angeles Dodgers were initially seen as frontrunners, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports that executives now view the San Diego Padres, located just 124 miles south of Dodger Stadium, as the new favorites to land Sasaki.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have had an eventful offseason, highlighted by signing Blake Snell and retaining Teoscar Hernández.
