Dodgers are destined for Walker Buehler regret the Red Sox can revel in
This doesn’t make up for the Mookie Betts trade, but it’s still a nice win for Red Sox fans.

The Boston Red Sox took a slight gamble over the offseason, signing Walker Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million deal over the offseason. There isn’t much risk that comes with one-year deals, but the Red Sox paid a pretty penny to sign Buehler, a pitcher who, outside of his strong postseason run last season, hadn’t shown much in recent seasons.
Early returns of the Buehler deal weren’t great. He allowed nine runs in his first 9.1 innings of work spanning over two starts, and surrendered three home runs. His three starts since, however, have been nothing short of magnificent. He was at his best on Monday, allowing just one run on four hits in seven innings of work, striking out nine in a Red Sox win.
Sure, it might’ve been against the Chicago White Sox, but Buehler’s stuff was good enough to dominate just about any team. He was locked in, and showed why the Red Sox were comfortable taking this gamble.
Buehler having the success he’s had, has to have the Los Angeles Dodgers feeling some sort of regret for letting him walk. That alone gives Red Sox fans reason to feel good about themselves, justified or not.
