Starting pitcher Walker Buehler inked a one-year, $21.05 million deal with the Boston Red Sox in December.The 30-year-old righthander discussed his departure from the Los Angeles Dodgers with reporters during a Zoom call on Friday.

Walker Buehler says he's made a pitch to longtime friend, free agent third baseman Alex Bregman, about playing for the Red Sox.

Walker Buehler signed with the Red Sox because he believes the club is primed for a breakout, and if the right-hander has his way, he won’t be coming to Boston alone.
