If he opts out, he would have received $25 million in signing bonus and salary from the deal.<\/p>\n<p>A 29-year-old right-hander, Flaherty was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 28 starts last year for Detroit and his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers, who acquired him on July 30 at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Flaherty helped the franchise to a five-game World Series victory over the New York Yankees. He pitched five scoreless innings in the opener before giving up two runs in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>He allowed four runs over 1 1\/3 innings in Game 5 before the Dodgers rallied for a 7-6 win and their second title in five years.<\/p>\n<p>Flaherty broke into the big leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2017 and had his best season in 2019, finishing with an 11-8 record and a 2.75 ERA, striking out a career-high 231 batters over a career-high 196 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p>The right-hander regressed in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, finishing with a 4.91 ERA, and then missed ample time with injuries in 2021 and 2022. He was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in a deadline deal during the 2023 season.<\/p>\n<p>He signed a one-year deal with the Tigers, and had his best season in five years. He was 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA before getting traded to the Dodgers. He went 6-2 with a 3.58 ERA for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pitcher Jack Flaherty is returning to the Detroit Tigers, agreeing Sunday to a two-year, $35 million contract, according to a person familiar with the agreement.
