Jack Flaherty returns to Tigers on $35 million contract in MLB free agency
NY Post
Jack Flaherty is back with the Tigers on a two-year, $35 million deal, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
The contract includes an opt-out clause after the first year and he would receive $25 million in salary and bonus this upcoming season.
If Flaherty were to opt-in for the 2026 season he would be owed $10 million with the possibility of that number jumping to $20 million if he makes 15 starts, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Flaherty seemed to all but confirm the deal on social media by posting a GIF of himself in a Tigers uniform followed by a pair of pictures — one featuring rapper Tupac Shakur in a Red Wings jersey and the other featuring members of the Pistons celebrating.
He made one more post, featuring himself in a No. 9 Tigers jersey.
Flaherty is back with the Tigers after he was traded at the deadline last year to the would-be World champion Dodgers.
