Over the past few years, the Detroit Tigers have been a terrible club.
However, they are ready to finally turn the turnaround and regain their competitiveness.
With a 78-84 record, the Tigers placed second in the AL Central the previous season.
Many of the players on their young squad are still developing into major league players.
However, it seems that the Tigers want to bolster their young core with a few more experienced.
Pitcher Jack Flaherty and the Tigers have formally reached a one-year contract, according to Bob Nightengale.
With a chance to increase to $15 million if Flaherty makes 30 starts, the $14 million contract has potential.

Flaherty just finished a difficult 2023 season playing for two different teams.
He threw to a 4.43 ERA in 20 starts during his first half of the season with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Baltimore Orioles acquired him after a trade, and he threw in nine games for them with an ERA of 6.75.
With the Tigers, he is now hoping to start over and find his previous level of play.
When Flaherty first joined the Cardinals, he was regarded as one of the best pitchers in baseball.
However, Flaherty was unable to realize his full potential because of injuries and other problems.
Last season, the Tigers’ starting rotation had trouble staying consistent.
They have hope that things can improve now that they have signed Flaherty.
2024 will see the AL Central up for grabs, so don’t be shocked if the Tigers challenge for the division crown.
