BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox announced Saturday that they signed right-hander Walker Buehler, a two-time All-Star who was on the mound when the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the World Series this fall, to a one-year deal.

Buehler, 30, went 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA in the 2024 regular season after missing all of the previous year recovering from Tommy John surgery. But in the postseason, he was 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA and one save, coming on in the ninth inning of Game 5 of the Series against the New York Yankees and retiring the side in order, striking out the last two batters to protect the 7-6 lead.

In a seven-year career, all with the Dodgers, Buehler has a 47-22 record with a 3.27 ERA. He has twice finished in the top 10 in Cy Young Award voting.
