Walker Buehler won't return to the Vanderbilt rotation in 2016. The Sunday starter inked a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that will pay him a $1.78m signing bonus.
Walker Buehler won't be returning to Vanderbilt. The right-handed pitcher and first-round draft pick settled on a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that will end his amateur career and ship him off to rookie ball.
MLB.com's Jim Callis reports that the Commodore pitcher signed for less than slot value, settling for $1.78 million.
I'm not sure which concerns the Dodgers are referring to, but it could refer to the lingering injury that kept Buehler from being his dominant self all spring.
