Now the righty is a free agent and he&#8217;s looking to cash in on the solid finish to the year.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently projected Buehler to sign a two-year, $40 million deal in free agency, which is much more lucrative than the one-year, $4 million deal that Spotrac projects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Dodgers don&#8217;t make mistakes, but did they do him a favor not giving him the qualifying offer, thus not attaching draft-pick compensation to a team that signs him?<\/p>\n<p>They considered it, but they have so many great starters coming back and may be aiming even higher than this World Series hero. $40 million, two years,&#8221; Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n<p>After the Dodgers signed Blake Snell in free agency, it pretty much wiped them out of bringing Buehler back, especially at the price that Heyman attached.<\/p>\n<p>Teams that could make sense would be the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>Buehler made 33 starts with a 2.47 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 2021. After a few years of injuries, he posted a 5.38 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 16 starts during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough to imagine Buehler landing a deal worth $20 million a year, but given his upside, it could make sense.<\/p>\n<p>If the righty returns to his pre-injury form, he could be quite the steal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Dodgers World Series Hero Projected To Sign $40 Million Free Agency Deal The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2024 World Series in convincing fashion following a dominant&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14562,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
