Walker Buehler (28), who made the most saves in the final game of the last World Series, is expected to leave the LA Dodgers. He is constantly connecting with a team other than the LA Dodgers.
The New York Post, a local media outlet in New York, said on the 3rd (Korea time) that the New York Mets showed interest in Buehler, a starting pitcher on the free agent market.
Earlier on the 2nd, the New York Mets signed Frankie Montas to a two-year, $34 million contract. This is to increase the depth of the starting lineup.
The New York Mets are then bringing in Buehler to add depth to the starting lineup. Of course, the bid to recruit a super-large starting pitcher will likely be made separately.
The Los Angeles Dodgers did not offer Buehler a qualifying offer. The Dodgers judged that it was not worth 1 year to 21.05 million dollars. It also recently hired Blase Snell and has no starting position.
In addition, the Los Angeles Dodgers are aiming to recruit Loki Sasaki in January 2025. It is very likely that he will not sign Buehler.
Buehler is aiming for a de facto second try in the FA market this time. After undergoing major surgery, he bowed his head with a bad performance this season.
Since returning this season after 토토사이트 꽁머니 undergoing right elbow ligament joint surgery (Tommy John surgery) in 2022, he has been 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA in 16 games.
However, many view this season as a de facto rehabilitation season. Buehler also gave the Los Angeles Dodgers the championship title in this postseason.
Buehler’s best season was 2021. At the time, Buehler pitched 2,07 2/3 innings in 33 games, ranking fourth in the Cy Young Award with a 16-4 record and a 2.47 ERA.
The biggest advantage is that he showed strong performance in the postseason. Buehler’s earned run average in the postseason is only 3.04.
Notably, he pitched 10 scoreless innings in this season’s National League Championship Series and World Series. He also had saves in Game 5 of the World Series.
The New York Mets have strengthened their starting lineup with several starting pitchers having qualified as FA. And attention is focusing on whether Buehler’s intention to re-enter the FA is right.
