Let's talk about Walker Buehler
Free agent starting pitcher. Faced the Mets in the NLCS this year. (As did Jack Flaherty.)

I'd like him but he'll be very expensive and has a recent injury history.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

Re: Let's talk about Walker Buehler
He seems like he would be a good candidate for a bounce back year.
The problem is (a) his stuff wasn't great this year. I heard his velocity was down, and that his spin rate is a far cry from his heyday, and (b) there are lots of teams who think he will bounceback. So he might be getting multi-year offers.
The Dodgers didn't extend a qualifying offer.
