Los Angeles Dodgers postseason history cannot be told without mention of Walker Buehler, who rose to prominence as one of the sport's best big-game pitchers in 2020. Buehler helped the Dodgers win the World Series that year and answered the bell on short rest in 2021 when Max Scherzer couldn't pitch.

Veteran right-hander Walker Buehler has agreed to a one-year deal with the Padres, a source told MLB.com on Monday night. The club has not confirmed the agreement, which is a Minor League deal and pending a physical.

The San Diego Padres have been busy making a slew of signings and continued that trend Monday when they signed a former Red Sox pitcher.
