Tampa Bay Rays Eyeing Former Cardinals' Pitcher Jack Flaherty in Offseason Moves
Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty, now a free agent after a tenure with the Baltimore Orioles, is sparking interest within the American League East, particularly from the Tampa Bay Rays.
Following a mid-season trade to the Orioles, Flaherty faced a challenging 2023 campaign, tallying a 4.99 ERA across 29 appearances with both clubs. Despite this downturn, Flaherty, a seasoned seven-year MLB veteran at just 28 years old, carries substantial upside.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com highlighted the Rays' potential interest in Flaherty, citing the Rays' rotation concerns as a driving force. With Shane McClanahan out for the season due to Tommy John surgery and other pitchers returning from elbow injuries, Tampa Bay's rotation looks uncertain. Cowboy Channel
