The Los Angeles Dodgers face the possibility of losing a pivotal figure from their recent World Series triumph—Walker Buehler. After a challenging regular season in 2024, Buehler emerged as a playoff hero, throwing 10 scoreless innings, including a dramatic save in the title-clinching game against the Yankees. As a free agent, he’s drawing interest from several teams, including the Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Dodgers are reportedly interested in retaining Buehler and are expected to offer him a deal around $32 million for two years, reflecting both his potential and his past postseason heroics. However, other teams are likely to make competitive bids. The Yankees, seeking to bolster their rotation, could offer Buehler a chance to join a high-profile roster, while the Phillies, aiming to strengthen their fifth rotation spot, view him as a strong candidate to complete their pitching lineup.
For Buehler, the decision may hinge on several factors, including financial terms, team competitiveness, and his fit within a rotation. With interest building across the league, his next move could significantly impact the balance of power in MLB for the 2025 season.
