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.
