Walker Buehler has signed a one-year contract worth $21.05 million with the Boston Red Sox, aiming to bolster their starting pitching as they pursue contention. The deal includes performance bonuses and follows Buehler's successful postseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite previous elbow injuries and a less explosive return, Buehler's playoff performance has reignited hope for his future. The Red Sox are also enhancing their pitching staff with other acquisitions, positioning themselves as a competitive force.
