Jack Flaherty Is Reportedly Not Interested In Signing With 1 MLB Team

The Baltimore Orioles have been one of the more interesting teams in Major League Baseball over the past two seasons.

After very good regular seasons in 2023 and 2024, the Orioles flamed out in the postseason and lost their first playoff series each year.

The Orioles have not added much talent this offseason, but they did lose a key piece of their starting rotation as Corbin Burnes signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

After losing an ace, the Orioles aren’t likely to be able to replace him with one of the best free-agent starting pitchers remaining.

MLB analyst Rich Dubroff recently revealed that free agent Jack Flaherty is not interested in signing with Baltimore.

“I would actually kind of be surprised if Flaherty came back to the Orioles. He didn’t have a good time there,” Dubroff said, via Foul Territory.

Flaherty pitched for the Orioles at the end of the 2023 season and did not fare well.

He appeared in nine games and was 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 34.2 innings pitched.

In 2024 with the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers, Flaherty started 28 games and was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and 194 strikeouts in 162.0 innings pitched.

The Orioles will have to look elsewhere if they want to find a fitting replacement for Burnes.
