Los Angeles seemingly bolstered its rotation by trading for the Tigers pitcher before the deadline.
Flaherty signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Tigers over the winter and has proven more than worth the money. Through 18 starts, he's 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and 133 strikeouts against 19 walks in 106 2/3 innings. Now, the Burbank, California native who attended Harvard-Westlake High School will head back home to pitch for Los Angeles.The Dodgers have seen their starting rotation decimated by injuries and underperformance.
Both Flaherty and Kiermaier are set to be free agents after the 2024 season. These deals are just more evidence the Dodgers are all-in on this year.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
