When the Boston Red Sox signed Walker Buehler to a one year deal, they were hoping that he would have a bounceback season with him. The later portion of his time with the Dodgers saw him struggle with injuries and inconsistencies, but there is no denying that he is a very valuable pitcher to have on one's roster when he is right. Unfortunately, he has been anything but right during his time in Boston.
After 23 appearances with the Red Sox this year, Buehler is the "proud" owner of a 5.45 ERA and most observers thought that a transition to their bullpen was in his immediate future.
