Jack Flaherty Denies Injury Concerns After Dodgers Trade

Yankees GM claims failed trade was due to prospect mismatch, not health issues

Jack Flaherty, traded to the Dodgers, asserts he is fully healthy despite earlier back issues.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman disputes reports that health concerns scuttled the trade with the Tigers.
Flaherty's strong July performance includes 17.2 innings pitched and 18 strikeouts, supporting his health claims.
The Dodgers acquired Flaherty to strengthen their rotation for the playoffs, adding to their depth of pitching talent.
Cashman admits the Yankees failed to match the Tigers' demands for prospects in the proposed trade.
