Walker Buehler is eager to make an immediate first and lasting impression with the Boston Red Sox, based on his latest comments.

Buehler gets a $3.05 million signing bonus under the agreement announced Dec. 28 and a $15 million salary this year.

While the Boston Red Sox have made a number of moves this offseason, one of the most interesting has been the signing of former Los Angeles Dodgers starter Walker Buehler to a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2026.

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.

Red Sox starter Walker Buehler is reportedly trying to recruit free agent third baseman Alex Bregman to join him at Fenway Park.

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.

Walker Buehler signed with the Boston Red Sox last week and on Friday, he revealed why he chose the organization in free agency.

If Walker Buehler had hit free agency after, say, the 2021 season when he posted a 2.47 ERA over 33 starts with the Dodgers, he likely would have commanded one of the biggest contracts for a pitcher in baseball history. That wasn’t the case. The 30-year-old’s first foray into the open market came at a much-different point in his career.

It appears one star really wants Alex Bregman on a new team. Recent Red Sox signing Walker Buehler told reporters on a video call on Friday that he has pitched the free agent third baseman on the idea of joining him in Boston.

Right-hander Walker Buehler is guaranteed $21.05 million in his one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox and can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses based on starts
