Yankees Reportedly Eye Dodgers' World Series Star Walker Buehler in Free Agency

Mutual interest has been reported between the Yankees and Buehler, whose postseason heroics capped off the Dodgers' 2024 championship run.

Walker Buehler, a key figure in the Dodgers' 2024 World Series victory, is reportedly drawing interest from the New York Yankees, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.
The Yankees and Buehler are said to have 'mutual interest,' though the extent of the Yankees' pursuit remains unclear at this stage.
Buehler, 30, rebounded from Tommy John surgery and an inconsistent 2024 regular season to deliver standout performances in the postseason, including 13 consecutive scoreless innings and a World Series-clinching save.
The Yankees, who struggled with rotation depth in 2024, may view Buehler as a valuable addition to support ace Gerrit Cole and address injury concerns among other starters.
Buehler's projected contract value is approximately $3.9 million for one year, making him an affordable option for teams seeking postseason-proven talent.
