Detroit Tigers Sign Jack Flaherty to One-Year Contract

The $14 million deal could increase to $15 million with bonuses, adding the right-handed pitcher to the Tigers' rotation.

Jack Flaherty, a right-handed pitcher, has signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Tigers worth $14 million, with potential bonuses that could increase the value to $15 million.
Flaherty, a seven-year MLB veteran, had a 4.99 ERA last season with the St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles.
Flaherty's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with recurring shoulder issues and an oblique injury affecting his game.
The addition of Flaherty to the Tigers' rotation, which already includes Kenta Maeda, Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, Matt Manning and Reese Olson, is expected to increase competition among young pitchers.
Despite his recent struggles, Flaherty is known for his 2019 season with the Cardinals, when he posted a 2.75 ERA in 196 1/3 innings and finished fourth in Cy Young voting.
