Dodgers face potential loss of pitcher Jack Flaherty as Orioles show interest

The Los Angeles Dodgers may lose pitcher Jack Flaherty to free agency, with the Baltimore Orioles reportedly interested in signing him. This follows the Dodgers' recent acquisition of Blake Snell and the departure of Walker Buehler to the Boston Red Sox. Flaherty is projected to sign a deal worth $80 million, making him one of the top remaining pitchers available. He previously played for the Orioles but struggled in 2023 before having a strong 2024 season. The Orioles are looking to strengthen their rotation and may need to offer over $100 million to secure Flaherty. If they fail to sign him, they might consider trading for another starting pitcher.
