Dodgers do not extend qualifying offer to World Series hero Walker Buehler

The Los Angeles Dodgers, fresh off their 2024 World Series win, did not extend a qualifying offer to pitcher Walker Buehler. The offer would have been a one-year deal worth $21.05 million. Reports indicate the Dodgers chose not to make the offer to avoid limiting Buehler's market options. Buehler had a challenging regular season but performed well in the postseason, including a key save in the World Series. By not extending the offer, Buehler can seek a multi-year contract with any team, including the Dodgers. The team recently signed pitcher Blake Snell to a five-year deal, adding to their roster changes.
