Former World Series hero Walker Buehler is getting another chance to revive his MLB career — and this time, it’s with a former rival.
Buehler, 31, has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Padres, and he’ll get a chance to compete for a spot in their starting rotation throughout spring training, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Buehler, though, has mostly struggled since returning from the procedure, and in 2025, he didn’t even last the entire season with the Red Sox before getting demoted to their bullpen and then ultimately released — landing a minor-league deal with the Phillies ahead of the postseason.
