Jack Flaherty's Future Uncertain After Dodgers Sign Blake Snell

Jack Flaherty, born and raised in Southern California and a lifelong Dodgers fan, has always expressed a strong desire to remain with the team. During the Dodgers' 2024 World Series championship parade, he even stated that he never wants to leave Los Angeles.

However, the recent five-year deal between the Dodgers and Blake Snell, as reported by sources on Tuesday night, has cast doubt on Flaherty's future with the team. MLB Network insider Jon Paul Morosi suggested on Wednesday that the addition of Snell likely means Flaherty "won't be back" with the Dodgers in 2025.

Potential Landing Spots for Flaherty
With his future in Los Angeles uncertain, Flaherty is exploring other options. According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Baltimore Orioles could be a potential destination for Flaherty. The Yankees, who were interested in acquiring him at the 2024 Trade Deadline, remain a possibility, although they were unable to reach a deal with the Tigers before Detroit traded Flaherty to the Dodgers. The Bronx Bombers, along with the Padres and Angels, were also mentioned by Morosi as potential landing spots for Flaherty. However, this speculation came before the Dodgers signed Snell and before the Angels agreed to terms with Yusei Kikuchi.

​As Flaherty navigates his next steps, his future in Major League Baseball remains a topic of great interest. Whether he ends up with the Orioles, Yankees, or another team, his next move will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
