\"In<\/p>\n

The Dodgers still have not re-signed starting pitcher Walker Buehler. The two-time World Series champion is drawing interest from multiple teams, making it less and less likely that he will return to Los Angeles next season.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s less than a 50 percent likelihood that he becomes a Dodger again, just because there is interest in Walker around the industry,\u201d MLB insider Jon Morosi said to Dodgers Nation\u2019s Doug McKain at the Winter Meetings in Dallas, Texas. \u201cTeam like the Cubs, I\u2019ve heard mentioned. The Yankees, ironically enough, could be an option for him as well. The Braves are looking for starting pitching help, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Each team offers its own benefits for Buehler, ranging from relation to his alma mater to the opportunity to fulfill childhood dreams of playing on a big stage.<\/p>\n

The Braves are a close-to-home option for Buehler, who is a native of Lexington, Kentucky. Meanwhile, the Cubs have Carter Hawkins in their front office. Both Hawkins and Buehler are Vanderbilt alumni.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is the Vandy connection to the Cubs,\u201d Morosi said to McKain. \u201cWith the front office and Carter Hawkins, who\u2019s their GM, being a Vandy guy, so think there\u2019s that connection there.\u201d<\/p>\n

In New York, they still could look to add another starting pitcher, even with the addition of Max Fried. Despite being rostered for the American League Championship Series and World Series, Marcus Stroman did not pitch a single inning of the postseason.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Stroman may not have a prominent role in the rotation next season. The Yankees also just traded Nestor Cortes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard there\u2019s been mutual interest with the Yankees to where he\u2019s wanted that experience of playing in New York and being on the big stage,\u201d Morosi said. \u201cMaybe some questions about Stroman\u2019s spot in the rotation, especially after a year in which he was not an element of their postseason plans\u2026So there, to me, is a need for the Yankees to get one more starting pitcher, and I\u2019m told that Walker is intrigued to the possibility of being a Yankee.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Buehler shined in the postseason, especially in his closing inning of Game 5 of the World Series against the Yankees.<\/p>\n

Across three postseason starts and one appearance, Buehler logged a 3.60 ERA while striking out 13 batters and walking five.<\/p>\n

As far as staying with the Dodgers, the chances seem to be dwindling. The Dodgers did not send Buehler a qualifying offer like they did for outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Los Angeles signed two-time Cy Young pitcher Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract. That means the rotation already consists of four ace-caliber starters in Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
