Just over six months after the Detroit Tigers traded starting pitcher Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the 2024 MLB trade deadline, Flaherty is returning to Detroit on a new two-year deal.
Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, Flaherty and the Tigers have reached an agreement on a two-year, $35 million contract which includes an opt-out after the first season. Flaherty will earn $25 million during the 2025 season, and is guaranteed $10 million for the 2026 season. If he makes at least 15 starts in 2025, his guarantees will jump up to $20 million in 2026.
