Walker Buehler says he's made a pitch to longtime friend, free agent third baseman Alex Bregman, about playing for the Red Sox.

Starting pitcher Walker Buehler inked a one-year, $21.05 million deal with the Boston Red Sox in December.The 30-year-old righthander discussed his departure from the Los Angeles Dodgers with reporters during a Zoom call on Friday.

Walker Buehler signed with the Red Sox because he believes the club is primed for a breakout, and if the right-hander has his way, he won’t be coming to Boston alone.
