Jack Flaherty's return to the Detroit Tigers on a two-year, $35 million deal has certainly stirred the pot in the baseball community. With a front-loaded contract that pays him $25 million this season, the Tigers are banking on Flaherty's potential to deliver at least two WAR in 2025. But here's where it gets interesting: if he performs well, he has the option to opt-out after the first year for a better contract.
This raises some compelling questions for us to chew on. Do you think Flaherty can reclaim his form and exceed the expectations set by this contract? After a rocky 2022 season where he posted a zero WAR in just 36 innings, can he bounce back and become the ace the Tigers desperately need?
Moreover, how does this move impact the Tigers' overall strategy? Are they positioning themselves for a competitive run in 2025, or is this more of a gamble on Flaherty's potential?
And let's not forget about the prospects the Tigers received in the trade with the Dodgers. How do you see their development affecting the team's future?
Bold prediction time: If Flaherty can stay healthy and pitch to his capabilities, could he be a dark horse candidate for the Cy Young award in 2025? Or will the pressure of the contract and expectations weigh him down?
