Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers struggled in 2024 after their World Series win, finishing 78-84. Injuries plagued their rotation, with key arms like Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer missing significant time. Flaherty’s durability and experience would bring stability to a rotation that lost depth this offseason with the departures of Scherzer, Nathan Eovaldi, and others. As the Rangers look to return to contention, Flaherty could provide the consistency they need.
Detroit Tigers
Thanks to Just Baseball for research, analysis and insights for this slideshow article.

The Detroit Tigers revived their franchise in 2024, reaching the playoffs for the first time in a decade, thanks in part to Jack Flaherty’s stellar contributions. Posting a 2.95 ERA and a 0.956 WHIP in 18 starts with Detroit, Flaherty proved to be a cornerstone of the Tigers’ pitching staff. With Flaherty hitting free agency, Detroit would be wise to bring him back to solidify their rotation behind AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. Reuniting with the Tigers offers Flaherty stability and the opportunity to continue his resurgence on a rising team.

Los Angeles Angels
The Los Angeles Angels endured a rough 2024 season, finishing 63-99, but they’ve already made moves to improve their rotation by signing Kyle Hendricks and Yusei Kikuchi. Still, the Angels lack a true ace, and Flaherty’s experience as a top-tier starter would fill that void. At 29, Flaherty could lead a revamped Angels rotation and help the team climb out of the AL West cellar. Los Angeles’ commitment to rebuilding makes Flaherty an excellent candidate for their long-term plans.

Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox are searching for an ace to lead their young rotation. After finishing 81-81 and narrowly missing the playoffs, Boston needs a reliable arm to guide their staff. While bigger names like Corbin Burnes and Max Fried may be out of reach, Flaherty provides a cost-effective alternative. His consistency and leadership would complement Boston’s youth and elevate the team’s playoff hopes in the competitive AL East.

New York Yankees
After a stellar 2024 season that ended in a World Series loss, the New York Yankees are motivated to reload.

New York’s financial resources and title aspirations make Flaherty a practical option to bolster their pitching staff for another championship run.
