Jack Flaherty's Free Agency Draws Interest From Angels, Padres, and Others

The former Dodgers pitcher is expected to sign a multi-year deal, with speculation linking him to several MLB teams seeking rotation upgrades.

Jack Flaherty, a key contributor to the Dodgers' 2024 World Series win, is unlikely to return to the team after their recent pitching acquisitions.
Flaherty, projected to command an $80 million deal, has drawn interest from the Los Angeles Angels, who are looking to bolster their rotation for a playoff push.
The San Diego Padres are reportedly considering Flaherty as a potential replacement if they trade ace Dylan Cease, though this scenario remains speculative.
Flaherty's free agency appeal includes his strong 2024 performance and the absence of draft-pick compensation due to his midseason trade.
Other potential suitors include the Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, and Chicago Cubs, all of whom could benefit from his proven ability as a frontline starter.
