Looking back on the Boston Red Sox’s 2025 campaign, one of the club’s worst moves was the acquisition of Walker Buehler on a one-year, $21.05 million deal.
To be frank, Buehler simply didn’t perform in a Red Sox uniform (7-7 record, 5.45 ERA across 22 starts and one relief outing), and his rough tenure in Boston became even more painful when Buehler went on to throw 13.2 really good innings for the Philadelphia Phillies late in 2025, earning an NLDS roster spot.
The Buehler-Boston marriage was a disaster, hence the quick divorce.
