2 years 35 million.  Great deal. Flaherty.

Wow HUGE steal!

[monkeytargets39]

 Beautiful.  2 year deal for Flaherty for 35 mil.  Opt out after the first year.

I like our rotation now.  Skubal/Flaherty/Olsen/Cobb/Jobe or Mize.  That will be verrry competitive in the ALC this year.

Really just one 25. No way he doesn't opt out.

I’m good with that because it buys us time with Jobes progression, gives us a year to see how SGL returns from injury, and gives us one more year to decide what to do with the likes of Mize/Manning/Montero/Hurter.  

[oblong]

Rosenthal said 2nd year goes to $20 if he makes 15 starts which he should.  If he doesn’t… then he probably will not opt out. 

[Tiger337]

Flaherty gets 2 years, $35 million.  Great deal for the Tigers!

[gehringer_2]

This is not a that large an economic commitment, I wonder if an offer to Bregman remains on the table.

Flaherty at 2/35. I don’t love the player opt out, but yeah, I’m down.

I can think of two ways:

1. He’s hurt.
2. He sucks.

Each are squarely within the range of outcomes.

It more than kind of stinks I have to root for him to opt out.

 

[Tiger337]

I didn't see the opt out first, but the other deal was too good to be true.  I am still happy with it.  One year at a time with pitchers is fine.

I would think so, especially since it’s not a long commitment.  Nice to see a guy who wanted to be here come back.  Makes the LA trade even better.  Shades of Jim Slaton and the Brewers.

Also makes me wonder if one of our young SP could be dealt (Mize?) for a bat.

This adds some resilience against the inevitable pitching injuries - YCNHTMP!

We can always trade him for more top 100 prospects at the deadline too….

Nice Slaton reference. Still mad the Tigers lost Benji!

Love the deal - improves odds with their window with Skubal

Cobb pitched 16 innings and got 14 million.

Look of course if he blows out his arm he's not gonna opt out. But then he's lost for that second year anyway. 

[Tigermojo]

They get him for another year and if he does prove to be healthy, they could extend him.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I'm a big fan of that Flaherty deal. We now have three solid, reliable starters in the rotation again and were able to do it for minimal costs. Well, we should be resigning Skubal to a big deal, but that hasn't happened yet. 

[Tigermojo]

I think my fan bias is showing because I think this is a great deal but Kim's deal wasn't.

I'd be surprised if it wasnt

Well, Kim is going to miss the beginning of the season, so I didn't like that deal either.

No need for him to be off the table.  The Tigers do not have a big payroll.  The question with him is if he has better offers.

if Harris lands Bregman and Flaherty, he gets his GENIUS cap back, even with Torres.

If anything, assuming that Bowden is right and the Tigers have the best offer on the table (big assumption), I would think Flaherty might make it ever so slightly more appealing to sign here
