When the Boston Red Sox released Walker Buehler on August 29, many Red Sox fans were relieved. Buehler’s time in a Boston uniform was undeniably disappointing. After filling Red Sox fans with optimism by signing a one-year deal in December (not long after winning a World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers), Buehler severely underwhelmed in 23 appearances for Boston this season, finishing 7-7 with a 5.45 ERA before getting released on August 29.
But wait a second … are Red Sox fans actually missing Buehler all of a sudden? And does Boston’s front office regret moving on from Buehler?
