"The Philadelphia Phillies have reached agreement on a contract with veteran right-hander Walker Buehler, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney on Sunday. Buehler, who got the final out in the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series victory last season and was expected to be a key member of the Boston rotation this year, was released on Friday after the Red Sox concluded he couldn't help their playoff push from the bullpen."
"Buehler, 31, has struggled since signing a $21.05 million contract with Boston, going 7-7 with a 5.45 ERA. He made 22 starts before he was demoted to the bullpen last week; in his only relief appearance since earning a save in Game 5 of the Series, he allowed two runs in 2⅓ innings of a loss to the New York Yankees."
The Philadelphia Phillies signed veteran right-hander Walker Buehler. Buehler was released by the Boston Red Sox after the team determined he could not aid their playoff push from the bullpen. He struggled this season, posting a 7-7 record with a 5.45 ERA after signing a $21.05 million contract and making 22 starts before being moved to relief. In his lone relief appearance he allowed two runs in 2⅓ innings against the New York Yankees. Buehler is a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion with a 54-29 record in 144 starts over eight seasons, returning last year from a second Tommy John surgery.
