Flaherty's Market Value: Tigers Move On?
22 Oct
Summary
- Flaherty pitched like an ace for Tigers in the first half of 2024.
- He was traded to Dodgers for two prospects at the 2024 trade deadline.
- Flaherty's estimated market value is $30.5 million over two years.
Jack Flaherty's tenure with the Detroit Tigers has concluded, with the veteran pitcher now hitting the free-agent market. His initial period with the Tigers in the first half of 2024 was highly successful, marked by a 2.95 ERA over 106.2 innings, earning him a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two prospects. The Tigers later signed him to a two-year, $35 million contract. However, his performance in the subsequent season, 2025, was less impressive, with a 4.64 ERA and an 8-15 record. He exercised a player option for 2026, worth $20 million. As of October 22, 2026, Flaherty is again a free agent, with Spotrac estimating his market value at a two-year, $30.5 million deal. Given the Tigers' current rotation depth, it appears unlikely Flaherty will return to Detroit.
