After\u00a0trading for Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, they signed Patrick Sandoval to a two-year deal. Now,\u00a0Walker Buehler\u00a0has joined the Red Sox on a one-year contract after testing the free agency waters. Yahoo\u2019s Russell Dorsey\u00a0broke the news on Monday.\u201cBreaking: Right-hander Walker Buehler and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a one-year, $21.05 million deal which includes incentives, sources tell Yahoo Sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buehler was hurt for the entire 2023 season and came back for a sluggish 2024 campaign. In 16 regular-season starts, he posted a 5.38 ERA with only one win. But\u00a0in the playoffs, the Buehler of old came out, making this a gamble Boston was happy taking. He closed out the World Series for the Dodgers and now joins the AL East.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox needed pitching after a brutal 2024 season. While they added Crochet to top their rotation, depth is important in their deep division. Nick Pivetta is a free agent and Sandoval will not return from his elbow injury until mid-year. Buehler will start valuable games early in the season and can shift into a depth starter or bullpen piece when Sandoval comes back.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Red Sox can continue to add after the Walker Buehler signing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3179209\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3179209\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walker-Buehler-with-LA-Dodgers.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walker-Buehler-with-LA-Dodgers.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walker-Buehler-with-LA-Dodgers.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walker-Buehler-with-LA-Dodgers.jpg?resize=768,431 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walker-Buehler-with-LA-Dodgers.jpg?resize=1024,574 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Walker-Buehler-with-LA-Dodgers.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"BREAKING: Walker Buehler agrees to $21.05 million contract with Red Sox - 24\/7 News America\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3179209\">Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Red Sox threw their hat in the ring for Juan Soto.
