BOSTON (AP) — 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 Texas Rangers are bolstering their mound talent, aiming to sharpen their defense as much as possible. With the addition of a former Boston Red Sox pitcher, their outlook for the upcoming season is looking even stronger.

The Boston Red Sox have gone a long way toward upgrading their starting rotation this offseason, trading for former Chicago White Sox lefty ace Garrett Crochet, and signing two-time World Series winner Walker Buehler from the Los Angeles Dodgers as a free agent.
