Pitcher Jack Flaherty was picked up by the Tigers on a one-year, $14 million deal on Wednesday.
His mother, Eileen Flaherty, revealed after the news broke that the move was a childhood dream come true for Flaherty. She posted a photo of her and her son while he was sporting a Tigers jersey when he was younger.
“@Jack9Flaherty who knew that when this picture was taken, you would get the opportunity to play for the @tigers,” his mother wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “18 years later…you’ve arrived.”
