Walker Buehler says he’s ‘made a pitch’ to Alex Bregman about playing for Red Sox

Walker Buehler has only been a Red Sox for about a week, but he’s already taken on the role of recruiter for Boston.

During his virtual introductory press conference on Friday, he told reporters that he’s ‘made a pitch’ to his friend and free agent third baseman Alex Bregman to play together on the Red Sox.

“I have certainly made a pitch all over the place for him to come to Boston,” Buehler said. “He and I have been buddies for a long time. We played on Team USA together, a little bit in college.”

The pair also own a horse together, Buehler explained, named March of Time.
