The Boston Red Sox took a swing when they signed Walker Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million contract, and it wasn't unjustified. Buehler was a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Buehler has not delivered on his one-year, $21.05 million figure. Lucas Giolito (3.99 ERA, 4.04 FIP) has had his moments, but he is also being paid $19 million this season. Rookie Hunter Dobbins has impressed when healthy (4.10 ERA, 3.86 FIP), but he is also on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain.

Red Sox starter Buehler, who is guaranteed $21.05 million in a one-year free agent contract, is 1-4 with a 7.80 ERA in his last six starts.
