The Detroit Tigers decided to send jack to the Los Angeles Dodgersminutes before the deadline. The move didn’t come as a surprise, as he was one of the most sought-after trade candidates on the market and should be a great addition to a contending team.

He somewhat revived his career with the Tigers throughout the first few months of the season, as he had struggled in previous years. Once considered one of the bright young pitchers in Major League Baseball, Flaherty struggled during his past two campaigns.

But in Detroit, on a one-year deal, he posted a 2.95 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. More impressive than those stats, he struck out 133 hitters in 106.2 innings pitched.

If he can continue to throw the baseball the way that he did for the Tigers with the Dodgers, he should find himself in a great position to get paid handsomely in the next few months.

Hitting free agency at the end of the season, the right-hander will have an opportunity to find a new home, one where he can be paid and play for a contending team.
