Dodgers predicted to sign two-time All-Star after 2024 season ends

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considered to be one of the top options to win the World Series this year but they could be even better.

Los Angeles has been bitten by the injury bug in a massive way this season and has seen stars drop left and right. The Dodgers haven't been at full strength pretty much at all this year and one player who has missed some time is Walker Buehler.

Buehler has made nine starts this year after missing the entire 2023 season. He will be a free agent at the end of the season and although he has dealt with a plethora of injuries, FanSided's Michael Brakebill predicted he will re-sign with Los Angeles.

"Walker Buehler has missed most of 2024 with ailments that have derailed his season," Brakebill said. "Even in the minors on a rehab assignment, Buehler owns a 5.01 ERA in 34 innings at Triple-A. His (5.58 ERA) with the Dodgers this season was alarming, given that his career mark of 3.17 had always made him one of the better pitchers in baseball. Given his struggles this season, I believe Buehler will turn it around before the season ends and ultimately wind up signing a deal to return to L.A.

"Their rotation of Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and presumably Clayton Kershaw can only be further bolstered by a healthy Buehler, which then gives L.A. even more tradeable assets to strengthen other areas of need. Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers."

Buehler still is just 30 years old and has plenty of good baseball left in front of him. It wouldn't be shocking to see him sign back with Los Angeles but this isn't a report but more speculation that a move is a possibility.
