Jack Flaherty Rejoins Detroit Tigers on Two-Year, $35 Million Deal

The Tigers bolster their starting rotation with Flaherty's return, adding depth and experience after his World Series-winning stint with the Dodgers.

Jack Flaherty signed a two-year, $35 million contract with the Detroit Tigers, which includes an opt-out clause after the 2025 season.
Flaherty's return strengthens a rotation led by 2024 AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and supported by new addition Alex Cobb and prospect Jackson Jobe.
The Tigers capitalized on Flaherty’s reduced market value, addressing concerns over his velocity and postseason performance to secure him at a favorable price.
Flaherty previously helped the Tigers reach the playoffs in 2024 before being traded to the Dodgers, where he contributed to their World Series victory.
Detroit's active offseason strategy reflects their push for AL Central contention, with additional moves like pursuing Alex Bregman reportedly under consideration.
