Dodgers’ Walker Buehler Responds to Clayton Kershaw-Rangers Rumors
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been landing, well, just about every star free agent this offseason.
Right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler would like them to sign another.
When Dodgers Nation posted a graphic Saturday about The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal’s report that the Texas Rangers are pursuing Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw in free agency, Buehler sounded off in the comments.
NO!

Kershaw is an unrestricted free agent after spending the last 16 seasons with the Dodgers. The 35-year-old underwent shoulder surgery in November but has publicly stated he plans to pitch in 2024.
Kershaw and Buehler have been teammates in Los Angeles since the latter debuted in 2017.
If Kershaw signs with the Dodgers, he would return to a rotation already featuring Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Buehler and youngsters Bobby Miller and Emmet Sheehan.
