The Detroit Tigers made the postseason for the first time in 10 seasons after finishing with a record of 86-76 and coming in second in the American League Central.
Not only did the Tigers surprise everybody by making the playoffs, but they knocked off the Houston Astros in the AL wild-card round.
Coming off that successful season, the Tigers have made some notable acquisitions, including second baseman Gleyber Torres, starting pitcher Alex Cobb and starting pitcher Jack Flaherty.
One former MLB general manager revealed his thoughts on the Tigers’ recent signing of Flaherty.
“I love this for Detroit. The Tigers making a win-now move is a great thing for the game,” Steve Phillips said, via MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.
“I love this for Detroit!”

Flaherty debuted in 2017 with the St. Louis Cardinals and has played for four teams over his eight-year MLB career.
In 2024 with the Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers, Flaherty started 28 games and was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and 194 strikeouts in 162.0 innings pitched.
After a brief exit from the Tigers organization, he went to the Dodgers and left L.A. with a World Series title.
He now makes his way back to Detroit as the Tigers try to return to the postseason and make a deeper run in 2025.
The Tigers will look for their first World Series appearance since 2012 and their first title since winning it all back in 1984.
