The Boston Red Sox announced Saturday that they signed right-hander Walker Buehler, a two-time All-Star who was on the mound when the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the World Series this fall, to a one-year deal.

The Red Sox’s rotation makeover continues. Boston is signing Dodgers postseason hero Walker Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million contract that includes $2.5 million in performance incentives, according ESPN.
