The team almost fell into a 3-2 series lead, as the Yankees led in the fifth inning of Game 5. Yet, a series of New York defensive miscues led to the National League champions tying the score at 5. They would take the lead for good in the eighth inning, and long-time starter Walker Buehler closed the door for the Dodgers, getting the final three outs to secure Los Angeles&#8217; eighth title. Now it seems that Buehler and the Dodgers are looking to\u00a0continue their relationship\u00a0for at least another year or two.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe expectation is Clayton Kershaw will return to the Dodgers,\u201d reported the New York Post&#8217;s Jon Heyman on Friday. \u201cLA considered the qualifying offer for Walker Buehler and is talking to him about a possible return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kershaw returning isn&#8217;t surprising, as the Dodgers front office led by general manager Brandon Gomes and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman will likely let him pitch for the team until he retires.\u00a0The bigger news is Buehler,\u00a0who had a dominant pitching performance in Game 3 of the World Series to help his team gain a 3-0 lead. His save in Game 5 will further cement his status in Dodger lore. Do both sides want the relationship to continue? It certainly seems that way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Will Walker Buehler, Dodgers reunite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3113655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3113655\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3113655\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dodgers-SP-Walker-Buehler.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dodgers-SP-Walker-Buehler.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dodgers-SP-Walker-Buehler.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dodgers-SP-Walker-Buehler.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dodgers-SP-Walker-Buehler.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dodgers-SP-Walker-Buehler.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler (21) celebrates after beating the New York Yankees in game four to win the 2024 MLB World Series at Yankee Stadium.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3113655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">The Dodgers are certainly favorites to capture another title in 2025, as the majority of the team will be returning. Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez could potentially be the biggest name to leave outside of Buehler, but it&#8217;s still very early in the offseason. These first few weeks are usually slower, so news that\u00a0Buehler and Los Angeles are negotiating a new deal to stay together is a good development for both sides.<\/p>\n<p>The former Vanderbilt Commodore has spent his entire professional career with the inhabitants of Dodger Stadium. Although he&#8217;s dealt with his fair share of injuries, his performance in his two World Series appearances show just how good he can be. The 30-year-old still possesses a great pitch mix and high velocity, so he should be able to get back to that near- Cy Young Award winning level he displayed in 2021.\u00a0Will Buehler and the Dodgers continue to work together? It wouldn&#8217;t be surprising at all to see them join forces again.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Walker Buehler have begun negotiating a new contract.
