The Los Angeles Dodgers are eyeing their second-straight World Series title, but it’s not as easy as they think. With injuries piling up, their starting rotation seems to have taken a hit. Pitchers like Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and Roki Sasaki are yet to return.
To make things worse, their bullpen is not up to par. The offense has played out well this season, and they are still at the top of the division. However, struggling to win against the New York Mets has raised huge concerns among many.
The Dodgers will make the playoffs, but that’s where they need to have a strong rotation. The MLB trade deadline is approaching and several pitchers are predicted to be on the move. The franchise is already linked to starting pitchers and they are poised to bring back their World Series hero.
The Dodgers have been linked to Walker Buehler as a potential trade deadline fit👀👀

Would you want to see LA bring back Buehler in a trade with the Red Sox? Why or why not?⬇️⬇️https://t.co/PFHJ08c29u
Rumors are swirling around the club and Walker Buehler. It’s surprising to learn that the franchise is interested in Buehler, especially after his last run with the team. ESPN insider Jeff Passan believes that a reunion with Bueler will make sense for the team. However, his recent performance is not something the team would want.
Walker Buehler’s Recent Struggles Might Raise Concerns For The Dodgers
Buehler is not having a good start with the Red Sox this season. Dave Roberts and his crew stayed quiet on Buhler’s free agency as they were reluctant to sign him. His numbers in 2024 dropped to a miserable 5.38 ERA.

With the competition getting tougher in LA, it’s not something they wanted. After moving to the Red Sox, he’s been struggling again, holding a bad 5.18 ERA with a 4-4 record. After pitching only two innings, Buhler suffered against the New York Yankees in his last start.
The Dodgers have top-performing pitchers like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Glasnow, and Snell. They would consider having another pitcher with a bad ERA, like Buehler. While rumors have linked the Red Sox pitcher to his former team, it would take a lot for it to happen. Boston is not going just to give away their pitcher without a good deal. Boston is also linked to trading one of their top sluggers.
