Walker Buehler may not be pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers next season, but his legacy in L.A. will endure.
Buehler recently signed a one-year, $21.05 million deal with the Boston Red Sox, marking the first time he will be playing for a non-Dodgers team in his professional career. Since being drafted by the Dodgers in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft, Buehler has achieved great success, making two All-Star teams and winning two World Series titles.
Despite his departure, Buehler’s heroic performance in the recent World Series against the New York Yankees will forever be remembered. He delivered five shutout innings in Game 3 and closed out Game 5 to secure the championship for the Dodgers.
Although Buehler won’t be on the mound for L.A. in 2025, his impact on the organization will be everlasting. In light of his recent jersey number change, many fans received his jersey as a holiday gift and shared it on social media. Buehler expressed his gratitude for their support, emphasizing that the Dodgers uniforms will always hold a special place in his heart, even as he transitions to a new team next season.
Buehler’s move to Boston is pending finalization, but he made sure to reassure fans that his connection to Los Angeles remains strong. His official farewell message is expected soon. For now, fans can continue to proudly wear their Buehler jerseys, knowing that his impact will be felt no matter where he plays.
