Buehler was selected by the Dodgers in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft. He debuted with the team in 2017, and made two All-Star teams and won two World Series trophies along his journey.<\/p>\n<p>This past year, Buehler played hero in the World Series against the New York Yankees. Buehler pitched five shutout innings in Game 3 of the World Series. Two days later, he pitched the final three outs in Game 5 to clinch the World Series for L.A.<\/p>\n<p>While Buehler won\u2019t be pitching in Los Angeles in 2025, his legend will still live on in the Dodgers organization forever. The fact that Buehler was the hero less than two months ago, though, means his No. 21 jersey was a great present for the holidays \u2014 especially since he remained a free agent just a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>While fans on social media were posting pictures of their Buehler jerseys as gift, the 30-year-old right-hander took notice. He decided to send a nice message to Dodger fans who may be unhappy that their gift is the jersey of a player not on the team anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe #21 Dodgers unis you guys got today are still cool!\u201d Buehler wrote on his X account. \u201cI\u2019m gonna wear a different one next year but I appreciate y\u2019all rockin em nonetheless!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"stream-item-size\"><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-184\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1254144,54622027\/dodgersnation_com-large-leaderboard-2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 large-leaderboard-2 large-leaderboard-2184 adtester-container adtester-container-184\" data-ez-name=\"dodgersnation_com-large-leaderboard-2\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-dodgersnation_com-large-leaderboard-2-0\" class=\"ezoic-ad ezoic-adl\" data-google-query-id=\"\"><\/span><span class=\"reportline\" data-nosnippet=\"\" data-ez-ph-owner-id=\"184\"><span class=\"ezoicwhat\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"ezoic\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\" alt=\"Ezoic\" name=\"?pageview_id=25f55cd1-9002-409e-5c9b-1cc859f4c320&amp;ad_position_id=184&amp;impression_group_id=dodgersnation_com-large-leaderboard-2\/2024-12-25\/8191276557700574&amp;ad_size=728x90&amp;domain_id=35990&amp;url=https:\/\/dodgersnation.com\/walker-buehler-sends-message-to-dodgers-fans-on-christmas-after-signing-with-red-sox\/2024\/12\/25\/\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=noahcamras&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1872062553419104387&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fdodgersnation.com%2Fwalker-buehler-sends-message-to-dodgers-fans-on-christmas-after-signing-with-red-sox%2F2024%2F12%2F25%2F&amp;sessionId=40a5b783acb5d4e85c9fbf182730f4dce714269b&amp;siteScreenName=dodgersnation&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1872062553419104387\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Buehler\u2019s deal is not yet finalized with Boston, so he\u2019s likely waiting to post his official goodbye to Los Angeles.
