The Detroit Tigers have signed right-handed starter Jack Flaherty to a one-year deal worth $14 million, with incentives that could make it worth $15 million. Flaherty, who has had a career plagued by injuries and control issues, showed improvement in the 2023 season. The Tigers are hoping to help him continue his comeback and provide depth to their pitching rotation. However, the deal lacks a club option for 2025, suggesting that Flaherty may be traded in the future. Overall, it is a reasonable signing for the Tigers, but it does not address their need for a frontline starter or a hitting infielder.
