The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired right-handed pitcher Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers in a significant trade deadline move. In exchange, the Dodgers sent catcher Thayron Liranzo and infielder Trey Sweeney to the Tigers. Flaherty, who has posted an elite 2.95 ERA, 3.11 FIP, and 27.5 K-BB% in 106.2 innings pitched this season, is expected to bolster the Dodgers' rotation. The Dodgers, currently favorites to win the World Series at +300 according to FDSportsbook, made the trade just minutes before the deadline. This acquisition addresses a critical need for the Dodgers, who have faced rotation turmoil this season.
