Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Unsurprisingly, Flaherty has been moved after having a resurgence in Detroit. He has a 2.95 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 133/19 K/BB ratio across 18 starts. It appears the Dodgers made a pivot to Flaherty after failing to acquire Tarik Skubal or Garrett Crochet. However, Flaherty is a significant upgrade to the injury plagued Dodgers rotation. In return, the Tigers acquired infielders Thayron Liranzo and Trey Sweeney. This is a bit of an underwhelming return for Flaherty, but it's worth noting he's only on a one-year deal. The fact he's due to be a free agent this offseason likely impacted the value on his return.
The New York Yankees are in "extensive talks" for Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty, according to a source. The Yankees would plan to trade left-hander Nestor Cortes if they acquire Flaherty, who was scratched from his scheduled start on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians so that he wouldn't get injured ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The expectation around the league is that the veteran 28-year-old will be moved by Detroit before Tuesday's deadline, although manager A.J. Hinch said Flaherty is scheduled to take the mound on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Flaherty has had a resurgent 2024 campaign in Detroit, going 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 133:19 K:BB in 106 2/3 innings over 18 starts. He's also sporting a career-high 32.1% strikeout rate and career-low 4.6% walk rate. A move to the Yankees would boost his fantasy value even further.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty will not make his scheduled start on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians. Flaherty -- who is expected to be moved before Tuesday's trade deadline -- was scratched from his normal start, as the team protects him for a trade. The right-hander has been excellent for Detroit this season with a 2.95 ERA and 133 strikeouts across 18 starts. Multiple teams are said to be in on the 28-year-old, including the Astros, Orioles, and Yankees. Whichever team Flaherty goes to should improve his fantasy value down the stretch.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty will draw the first assignment post-All-Star break in Friday's series opener at the Rogers Centre against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old former Cy Young Award candidate in 2019 has returned to form in the Motor City in 2024, posting a 3.13 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a scintillating 119:14 K:BB across 95 innings (16 starts) thus far. Flaherty looks to keep the good times rolling on Friday in Toronto, and he's set up as a great fantasy bet across all formats to begin the second half. In three appearances against the Blue Jays in his career, Flaherty has a 2.08 ERA despite a shaky 21:10 K:BB over 17 1/3 frames.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty earned a win with a quality start Thursday afternoon, going six innings and surrendering one run on two hits with four strikeouts against the Cleveland Guardians. Flaherty had been out since June 27th with a lower back injury. The veteran right-hander is now 6-5 on the season with a 3.13 ERA, .98 WHIP, and 119 strikeouts in 95 innings, Speculation is rampant that the Tigers may be looking to shop Flaherty ahead of the trade deadline at the end of this month. Flaherty could be the top starting pitcher available on the trade market.
