MLB Free Agency has been hot and heavy and one of the best starting pitchers still available is former Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher, and current free agent, Walker Buehler.
He is said to have a fairly robust market, and while he struggled a bit in the regular season after coming back from injury, his strong performance in October has made him a hot commodity.
ESPN MLB Insider, Buster Olney has reported that the Yankees, Red Sox, and Tigers have all talked to Buehler, but the other reported team will have Dodgers fans sick.
San Francisco Giants Have Talked And Have Interest In Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher Walker Buehler
The Dodgers made a splash in the headlines when they signed ace Blake Snell away from the Giants just a few weeks ago. Now the Giants could return the favor by stealing away Buehler.
- Walker Buehler 2024 Stats: 1-6 Record, 5.38 ERA, 64Ks, 1.55 WHIP
For context, here are Blake Snell’s 2024 stats:

While losing Buehler to a divisional foe would be painful to fans, the Dodgers certainly upgraded at the position. There is still the very real possibility of adding Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki, as well.
