Right-hander Warner Buehler, who led the Los Angeles Dodgers win in the 2024 World Series (WS, best-of-seven), is drawing attention from the New York Yankees.

Major League Baseball network John Morosi said the Yankees and Buehler are interested in each other. The Yankees have become an openly connected team with Buehler along with the Atlanta Braves and Oakland Athletics.

Buehler lost the entire 2023 season through his second elbow joint surgery. He only started 16 times during the 2024 MLB regular season, and only had one win (five losses). He also had a poor ERA at 5.38. However, he played very well in the postseason, especially in the WS against the Yankees. In Game 3, in which the Dodgers won 5-2, he allowed no run in five innings, and in Game 5, he pitched in the bottom of the ninth inning to secure an out count that determines the Dodgers' victory.

Although Buehler's pace has not been good in the last two seasons, he has recovered his prime pitching in this postseason. There is a possibility that he will sign a contract for a year and 15 million dollars and then enter the free agent market again after the 2025 season. 메이저사이트

The Yankees are already showing interest in reinforcing starting pitchers such as Corbin Burns, Max Fried and Blake Snell. MLB.COM said, "If the Yankees, who own Lewis Hill, who received the Rookie of the Year award in this season, recruit Buehler, one of the starting pitchers will use it as a trade card," and assured the Yankees of recruiting starting pitchers.
