Former Dodger Buehler on why he signed with Red Sox

The first member of the 2024 championship roster to find a new home was Walker Buehler, who signed a one-year, $21.5 million deal with the Boston Red Sox in late December. Buehler was initially offered a qualifying offer from the Dodgers for the same price, but, as noted by Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, he desired a fresh start with a new team after capping off his Dodgers tenure by throwing the final pitch of last year's World Series. Buehler struggled to the tune of a 5.38 in 16 regular season starts in his first season coming off of his second Tommy John surgery, but in three starts with Boston this spring, he has dazzled in 10 innings, posting a 1.80 ERA and 11 strikeouts with just one walk allowed.
