Jack Flaherty's Free Agency Stalls Despite Strong 2024 Season

The World Series-winning pitcher remains unsigned as teams weigh his potential against past inconsistencies and injury concerns.

Jack Flaherty, a key contributor to the Dodgers' 2024 World Series win, is the top remaining free-agent starter but has yet to secure a deal.
The 29-year-old posted a solid 3.17 ERA across 28 starts in 2024, though his performance dipped slightly after being traded to Los Angeles mid-season.
Concerns about his inconsistency, injury history, and declining fastball velocity appear to be holding back interest from MLB teams.
The Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, and even the Kansas City Royals have been speculated as potential landing spots, though no confirmed offers have been reported.
Flaherty has expressed frustration with the slow free-agent market, stating he is eager to join a team and compete again.
