The Los Angeles Dodgers will take on the New York Yankees in the World Series starting on October 25. The Dodgers need to capitalize on their great roster because many key players will be hitting free agency after the season ends. While predicting where Dodgers free agents will land, FanSided's Zach Pressnell predicted that Walker Buehler would sign with the Cincinnati Reds.
"Walker Buehler to the Cincinnati Reds makes sense to me," wrote Pressnell. "He grew up near Cincinnati, in Lexington, Kentucky. Though he's talented, he's a major risk because of his past filled with injuries.
If he turns out a solid piece, the Reds have a third or fourth starter. Cincinnati needs to take risks after they talked Terry Francona out of retirement. The time to win in Cincinnati is right now.
" Buehler missed all of the 2023 season with an injury. He came back in 2024 and had the worst year of his career. He started 16 games, dealt with injuries, went 1-6 and had a 5.
38 ERA. He is entering free agency for the first time. Spotrac projects him to earn a one-year, $3.
9 million deal. He is a 2-time All-Star but will need to prove he can get back to that form if he wants to be paid like it. His last All-Star nod came in 2021.
Buehler actually had a solid outing in his last start during the National League Championship Series. He went four scoreless innings and allowed just three hits. More MLB: Dodgers $71 million star predicted to join Blue Jays in blockbuster signing.
