Detroit Tigers secure Jack Flaherty with one-year, $14 million contract

The Detroit Tigers have signed right-hander Jack Flaherty to a one-year, $14 million contract, pending a physical exam. Flaherty, a seven-year MLB veteran, had a 4.99 ERA last season with the St. Louis Cardinals and Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers beat out other teams for Flaherty's services and believe their pitching coaches can help maximize his potential. Flaherty can earn up to $1 million in incentives, and he joins a group of potential options for the Tigers' starting rotation.
