The Detroit Tigers have designated Jack Flaherty, a right-handed pitcher with a 4.48 ERA, as a potential buy-low trade target ahead of the summer trade deadline. Flaherty's recent performance includes a solid outing against the Philadelphia Phillies, going 6.0 innings with six strikeouts and allowing just two runs. While key pitchers Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize may draw more interest, Flaherty's history of varied performance makes him an intriguing option for clubs seeking a veteran starter on a budget. Given the Tigers' current momentum, it remains uncertain if they will be sellers at the trade deadline, though Flaherty could be a valuable acquisition for the right team.
