Walker Buehler, Dodgers Settle At $8.025 Million
11 months agoRight-hander Walker Buehler and the Los Angeles Dodgers avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by settling at $8.025 million for the 2024 season, according to a source. Buehler will receive the same salary from 2023 after he missed all of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 29-year-old will no longer be eligible for arbitration and will become a free agent following the 2024 campaign. He started a minor-league rehab assignment last September but never pitched in a major-league game. Barring any setbacks this offseason, Buehler should be good to go for Opening Day, although LA could look to limit his innings after not pitching at all last year. Buehler will be a risk/reward fantasy starter that might have to shake off some rust early on.
