DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers are bringing back starting pitcher Jack Flaherty. The 29-year-old right-hander, who the Tigers traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers last July just before their incredible sprint toward the playoffs, has agreed to a two-year deal to return to Detroit.

Jack Flaherty is headed back to Detroit. The right-hander struck a two-year, $35 million deal with the Tigers on Sunday night, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The new contract includes an opt-out after the first season.
