Walker Buehler’s performance with the Boston Red Sox has prompted trade speculation as the deadline approaches, with a 35% chance he could be dealt. Despite a disappointing season, including a 5-5 record and a 6.29 ERA, Buehler’s postseason experience enhances his appeal in the market. The Dodgers are mentioned as a frontrunner for his services due to his past with the organization. Analysts believe a change of scenery could help Buehler rediscover his form, although concerns exist about his declining fastball velocity and inconsistency with breaking pitches.
"If the Red Sox do punt on this year, Buehler will have plenty of suitors in spite of his mediocre numbers this season. His postseason bona fides are obvious, and his sinker and slider have both played this season despite his fastball and curveball getting tagged. Starter, reliever, whatever: October is Buehler's time."
"More than just his current struggles, the fact that he has a mutual option for next year makes Buehler's future with the Red Sox uncertain, further fueling the trade speculation."
