Breaking: Detroit Tigers sign Jack Flaherty in free agency

The Detroit Tigers signed right-hander Jack Flaherty to a two-year, $35 million contract with an opt-out clause after the first season. He pitched for the Tigers last season, posting a 2.95 ERA in 18 starts, before the Tigers traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the 2024 trade deadline for two prospects. Evan and Mark break down the Flaherty reunion, how president of baseball operations Scott Harris structured the contract, the current state of the Tigers' starting rotation and how the Flaherty signing impacts the Alex Bregman sweepstakes - all in this special "Days of Roar" breaking news episode.

Adding Bregman is a MUST! Excellent job, Evan...

A full season of Flaherty is good news. Even with back issues, the guy can pitch at a high level.

Glad we got him back!!!

I love this signing. This pitching staff is loaded. If we can somehow land Alex Bregman this will be an A+ offseason.
