You know our pitching rotation has faced some challenges recently, and the Dodgers’ front office is actively looking at market options to bolster the team. Among the top names floating around, one stands out: Jack Flaherty, currently pitching for the Detroit Tigers, but with a strong background from his time with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Flaherty was a standout in 2018 and 2019, where he established himself as the ace for the Cardinals, posting a 3.01 ERA over more than 347 innings. However, injuries sidelined his career a bit in the following years, and he didn’t perform as well. But now there’s a comeback story: after signing a one-year prove-it deal, Flaherty is bouncing back to top form with a 2.95 ERA and a 32% strikeout rate in 2024, which has caught the attention of teams like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Red Sox.
What makes this rumor even juicier is that Flaherty could come at a high price, as the pitching market is very competitive right now. He’s become one of the most sought-after arms ahead of the trade deadline, and the expectation is that he’ll cost at least two of any team’s top 10 prospects. It would be a temporary addition, as Flaherty is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, but he could be the difference-maker we need down the stretch.
So, Dodgers fans, what do you think? Is Jack Flaherty the pitcher we need to add depth to our rotation? Would you be okay with the Dodgers giving up some of our best prospects to bring him in? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, we’re excited to hear what you think!
