Letters to Sports: Walker Buehler’s Dodgers career is worth celebrating

LA Times  

Given Walker Buehler’s injury history, it is understandable why the Dodgers did not extend him a qualifying offer, particularly in the $21-million range. However, the gamer should be celebrated for his Dodger career, notably Buehler’s regular-season winning percentage of.681, and his postseason performances — often on short rest — highlighted by being on the mound to save Game 5 of the 2024 World Series. Ken Feldman Tarzana Dave Roberts states, “the biggest thing we’ve done so far is signing Blake Snell.” Before leaping onto the Snell bandwagon, Dodger fans need to be reminded that Snell is the guy who refused to pitch his last start for the Giants, and whose contractual pursuits resulted in a loss of spring training readiness that produced an injury riddled first half of the season. Bill Waxman Simi Valley The Dodgers gave Walker Buehler his day off by not offering him a new contract, and he walked with it all the way to Boston and a new one-year deal.
