The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers for Thayron Liranzo and Trey Sweeney
#8 and #22 prospects in LAD org
Bang. Freeman and Shohei welcome to Detroit. I think we overpaid though.
sucks we will have to face him in the world series /s
Pretty disappointing return tbh
Fleeced
Absolute all time fleece job, well done Dodgers, fire Harris
Someone tell me how to feel!! What is the upside of these returning players, and how long before they are playing in the major league
We got a #8 and #22 prospect for Flaherty. An MLB analyst said that that Toronto got more for Kikuchi.
Got two AAA Lifers for a MLB starting pitcher? I dont see it.
I realize Flaherty wasn’t gonna get a king’s ransom but we essentially got nothing for him. We might as well have kept him and rode out this year and seen what happens.
Yikes we got fleeced. Basically got nothing back and dodgers got a starting pitcher.
Though he signed for just $30,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2021, Liranzo continues to improve each year and has become one of the best young catching prospects in baseball. He has earned league All-Star honors in each of his two seasons in the United States. In his full-season debut last year, he topped the Single-A California League in slugging (.562), OPS (.962), wRC+ (155), homers (24), extra-base hits (50) and total bases (194) as a 19-year-old.
A switch-hitter, Liranzo provides power from both sides and is more consistent with his left-handed stroke, which ranks among the best in the organization. He hits the ball hard and his pull-heavy approach allows him to get a lot of his plus raw power, which he’ll tap into even further as he learns to launch the ball in the air more regularly. His approach will lead to strikeouts, though he offsets his whiffs with a healthy amount of walks.
Liranzo’s receiving and blocking skills regressed during his U.S. debut in 2022 but improved last summer. He has the hands to become an average or better receiver and moves well behind the plate despite well below-average speed on the bases. He owns at least plus arm strength and will deter the running game even more as he improves his throwing accuracy.
The 2021 Ohio Valley Conference player of the year after slashing .372/.522/.712, Sweeney became the third first-rounder in Eastern Illinois that July, signing for $3 million as the 20th overall pick by the Yankees. New York had him make some swing changes designed to increase his power, but he hit just .248/.361/.429 while advancing to Double-A in his first two-plus years as a pro. When the Dodgers needed 40-man roster space last December, they acquired him for Victor González and infield prospect Jorbit Vivas.
Sweeney established himself as one of the better hitters in the 2021 college class, and Los Angeles plans on letting him revert to what worked for him in college. Though he employed a sizeable leg kick and pronounced bat tip at Eastern Illinois, his uncanny hand-eye coordination permitted him to barrel balls and make a lot of hard contact from the left side of the plate. He manages the strike zone well and still offers the upside of a solid hitter with average power if he can get back on track.
Sweeney is deceptively athletic for a 6-foot-2, 212-pounder and has stayed at shortstop longer than most scouts expected. He has increased his speed from below average in college to average in pro ball, and he’s even quicker once he gets going. He’s an opportunistic basestealer with decent range, reliable hands and solid arm strength at short.
We are an unserious organization and I am honestly over it
What gets lost in this whole mess is that we (my family and I, they wanted me to tell you all this) *really liked watching Flaherty PITCH*! He’s great and that’s the sort of thing that keeps us watching. We don’t so much care if we might be a little bit better in 2 years or what-have-you. We wanted the rest of the season to be a time to watch Captain Jack pitch, and now he’s gone.
like even if liranzo is decent, we dont need him. we have dingler. we have people who can play 1st base (keith primarily comes to mind, when jung and/or mcgonigle are up).
even if the prospect rankings are considered good value (which i dont think they are and the SS sweeney is highly overvalued because he probably sucks), it strikes me as a a nonsense trade that was done simply to make sure we didnt get nothing for him. it doesnt make sense at all.
Where’s everyone who was going crazy for a Flaherty trade? Hope you’re happy with this return, and also hope you’re looking forward to watching Montero, Maeda, and a bullpen game two games a week. Our rotation is now bottom five in the league when we arguably had a top five, and we weren’t able to acquire at least one MLB ready bat.
This was a failure, and I GUARANTEE we would’ve been better off with the compensatory pick after extending the QO to Flaherty.
Literally me when we don’t get Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman for our rental starter

WE TRADED YAAAAAS
YES!!! I HOPE WHOEVERR IS GOOD! WE DID SOMETHING THO
Now we wait for the return
Please be Rushing.
All you crybabies can stop crying now
FLAHERTY HEEL TURN???
HERE WE GO
Let’s see the haul!
For whom, though?
Welcome to Detroit, Shohei
No idea what to expect on the return after today.
At this point it’s tradition for us to trade a starting pitcher to the dodgers 5 minutes before the deadline. Only this year, the pitcher can’t say no
Thanks Jack for some solid pitching. Go get that ring.
Andre Lipcius, YOU are a Detroit Tiger
Literally 557. Why does he do this to us
We’re about to be rolling a 15 man bullpen and I couldn’t be happier at this point
Please be a haul of future hall of famers
Hey look, everyone can put the piss back inside themselves.
WTF HARRIS MY HEART
I wanted to keep Flaherty, elite pitchers don’t grow on trees
But if the return is super good I will be happy
Gotta be Ohtani
