It wasn't always in the cards, but the Detroit Tigers decided it was more than worth it to sign Jack Flaherty. How does it impact their rotation?

Flaherty signed a two-year contract worth up to $45 million. His return creates a new level of competition in the Tigers rotation.

A 29-year-old right-hander, Flaherty was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 28 starts last year for Detroit and his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers, who acquired him on July 30 at the trade deadline.
