The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking at a potential reunion with pitcher Walker Buehler as the trade deadline approaches. Buehler, who is currently with the Red Sox, previously had great success with the Dodgers, especially in the postseason where he demonstrated remarkable performance. The Dodgers are seeking to strengthen their squad, particularly with 15 pitchers currently on the injury list. ESPN's Jeff Passan outlined the team's strategy of focusing on playoff potential over regular season wins, making a Buehler trade a strategic choice for the front office.
[The Dodgers] don't build their team for regular-season wins. They want to put together the most devastating 26-man squad for the postseason. And they saw last year what Buehler turns into in October. The four shutout innings against the Mets. Five more against the Yankees. And then the final three outs to lock down the World Series title.
Buehler first appeared in a Dodgers uniform in 2017 at just 22 years old. He soon developed into one of the most prolific Dodgers postseason pitchers in recent memory.
