Dodgers Acquire Jack Flaherty in Trade

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a significant move just before the MLB trade deadline by acquiring pitcher Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers. Flaherty, who signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Tigers, has posted a 2.95 ERA with 133 strikeouts over 106 2/3 innings this season. The Dodgers traded prospects Thayron Liranzo and Trey Sweeney in exchange for the 28-year-old right-hander. This marks Flaherty's second consecutive trade deadline move, having previously been traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Baltimore Orioles last year. The acquisition is expected to bolster the Dodgers' injury-plagued rotation as they aim for a deep playoff run. Additionally, the Dodgers made several other moves, including acquiring outfielder Kevin Kiermaier and infielder Amed Rosario.
