After reportedly offering over $210 million to sign Burnes, the Giants could potentially take half of that money and use it towards signing Flaherty instead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Giants seem like the most reasonable favorites to land Flaherty. San Francisco seemed to be a lock to sign Corbin Burnes, but Burnes opted for the Arizona Diamondbacks instead.<\/p>\n<p>As San Francisco still looks to replace Snell in free agency, it could steal a pitcher from its rivals to do so. The Dodgers stole Snell from the Giants and this could be San Francisco&#8217;s chance to do the same thing to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2024 World Series and pitcher Jack Flaherty was a huge reason why.
