Walker Buehler, who made an important contribution to the Dodgers' World Series run, is facing challenges in his transition to the Boston Red Sox. Signing a one-year deal of over $21 million, Buehler has recorded a troubling 6.29 ERA over his first 13 starts, the worst in the American League for pitchers with significant innings. After a stint on the IL, his performance worsened upon return, leading to considerations of moving him to the bullpen. Buehler expresses his determination to contribute, highlighting the urgency of present success over past achievements in the team's playoff aspirations.
Buehler, who was once a key player for the Dodgers, faces struggles on the Red Sox, marking his career's worst performance. "At some point, there are 26 guys that are going to help this team hopefully make the playoffs," he stated, emphasizing the importance of current performance over past accolades.
Manager Alex Cora hinted at the possibility of Buehler moving to the bullpen if his struggles continue, stating, "We'll talk about it" suggesting team adjustments may be necessary as they fight for a playoff spot.
