The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly acquired right-handed pitcher Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers in a trade deadline blockbuster.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are not letting an opportunity go to waste. At the closing minutes of the 6 p.m. ET trade deadline Tuesday, they reportedly acquired right-handed starting pitcher Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers. Flaherty, a free agent after this season, had long been on the trading block considering Detroit's 52-57 record.
The 28-year-old was one of the top pitchers in the game as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals several years ago. He finished in fourth place in the NL Cy Young Award voting in 2019 and finished in fifth in the NL Rookie of the Year vote the previous year. But, from 2020 to 2023, he had a 4.42 ERA. However, he seems to have found himself again in Detroit. He has a 2.95 ERA and a career-best 11.2 K/9 this season.
The Dodgers won the World Series during the truncated 2020 season, when there was a 60-game regular season. And all the sportsbooks still show the Dodgers are the overwhelming favorites to win this year's World Series.
