``Big surgery → return after two years → and sluggishness." However, will Walker Buehler (28), who performed brilliantly in the postseason, succeed in re-using the FA.안전놀이터

MLB.com , the official Major League Baseball website, said on the 24th (Korea time) that Boston and Buehler agreed to a one-year-to-one-$21.5 million contract.

The contract will be officially announced after Buehler's medical test. As the U.S. enters the Christmas holiday, there is a possibility that it will be over this year.

This is consistent with the amount of the qualifying offer. This can be seen as Boston's treatment of Buehler. Buehler did not receive a qualifying offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Not only did Buehler not participate in many games due to his injury in 2022, but he also underwent Tommy John surgery. As a result, he blew the entire last year.

Buehler returned to the court this season, but failed to find his former self. He ended up with just 1-6 losses and 5.38 ERA in 16 games this season.

However, Buehler's return to FA is considered relatively hopeful. This is because signs of revival began to show at the end of this season.

Buehler also showed good performance in the postseason. He performed poorly in the National League Division Series, but made the Championship Series and the World Series his own.

Notably, Buehler pitched six innings, allowing two hits and no runs in two World Series games (first starter). His save in the ninth inning of Game 5 gave the LA Dodgers the championship trophy.

Buehler became a free agent but the Los Angeles Dodgers turned a blind eye to Buehler. He didn't give him a chance to return to the FA again, not to mention a qualifying offer.

In the end, Buehler left the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time since the 2015 rookie draft and wore red socks. Now, Buehler is preparing for the winter of 2025.

Buehler's goal is to be what he was back in 2021. At the time, Buehler pitched 2,07 2/3 innings in 33 games, going 16-4 with a 2.47 strikeout and 212 ERA.

If Buehler recreates what he was three years ago, he is expected to write the success story of FA re-entry with a good contract in the winter of 2025.
