J ust last season, the Boston Red Sox finished exactly at .500, sporting a record of 81-81. One could only expect that, after adding Alex Bregman, Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehl

The two-time All-Star missed the entire 2023 season while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery and compiled a 5.38 ERA with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, but stepped up late in the team's ensuing postseason run that culminated in a World Series title.

Boston Red Sox fans are just as frustrated with Walker Buehler and the team as the starting pitcher sounded after a disastrous outing against the Yankees.
