Walker Buehler said Sunday he felt like he was fighting for his spot in the big leagues. He’ll keep that spot at least for another few days.

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.

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.
