Flaherty had a better season last year and lingered on FA market until Tigers signed him just before spring training. Still, he could’ve opted out in hopes of getting a qualifying offer from Tigers worth $22,025,000. Instead, he takes the sure deal and avoids the suspense.

Jason Beck @jasonbeck.bsky.social · 20h

This is now official, though Tigers are terming it as Flaherty exercising his optIon to return. Regardless, Flaherty is staying with the Tigers for next season. He’ll make $20 million thanks to a incentive clause that kicked in when he made 15 starts this season.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty is not opting out of his $20 million contract for 2026, sources tell ESPN. He will return to Detroit, where he has played in each of the last two seasons.
