The New York Mets have made a significant splash in free agency, signing two-time World Series champion Walker Buehler to a multi-year deal. The former Dodgers ace, known for his dominance in high-pressure moments, adds a proven winner to the Mets’ rotation as they look to solidify their pitching staff for the 2025 season.
Buehler, 30, returned strong in 2024 after recovering from Tommy John surgery, posting a 3.12 ERA with 185 strikeouts over 172 innings. His addition complements a rotation already featuring stars Kodai Senga and José Quintana.
Mets general manager David Stearns emphasized the team’s commitment to building a championship-caliber roster. “Walker brings elite postseason experience and leadership, making him a perfect fit for our ambitions in 2025,” Stearns said in a statement.
The deal reportedly spans five years and is worth $125 million, reflecting the Mets’ willingness to invest heavily in proven talent. Fans are hopeful this move marks a turning point after a disappointing 2024 season.
Buehler’s arrival signals the Mets’ aggressive approach to contend with NL East powerhouses like the Braves and Phillies, setting the stage for an exciting 2025 campaign.
