The Detroit Tigers have a strategy of signing veteran pitchers to short-term contracts, exemplified by their recent acquisition of Jack Flaherty. After a successful first half with the Tigers, Flaherty was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he contributed to their World Series win.

Despite a slow free agency market, Flaherty is expected to secure a lucrative multi-year deal due to the high demand for starting pitchers. Teams like the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles are potential suitors, and a return to Detroit remains a possibility.
