Orioles consider Jack Flaherty as potential $63 million addition to pitching rotation

The Baltimore Orioles are exploring options to replace pitcher Corbin Burnes but are hesitant to spend significantly in free agency. General manager Mike Elias has been given permission to invest, yet he may prefer to re-sign Burnes instead. One potential target is Jack Flaherty, a former Oriole who struggled during his time in Baltimore but found success with the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers. Flaherty's return could help stabilize the Orioles' rotation. Flaherty is projected to cost around $63 million over three years. As free-agent options diminish, this figure may increase, complicating the Orioles' decision-making process.
