2025 Topps Now #717 (Back)
A two-time All-Star and a World Series champion with the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024, Walker Buehler signed a one-year, $21 million deal with the Red Sox prior to the 2025 season.  His Red Sox tenure went horribly, and the team released him on August 29th, after Buehler had posted a 7-7 record and a 5.45 ERA in 23 appearances and 112 1/3 innings pitched.  The Phillies, in need of some starting pitching with the sudden season-ending injury to Zack Wheeler, took a chance on Buehler and signed him a few days after his release.  The gamble worked, and Buehler was 3-0 with a 0.66 ERA in three appearances and 13 2/3 innings pitched for the Phillies in September.  As of this writing, he's appeared on one Phillies baseball card, albeit on the back of the card, as he makes a cameo on the 2025 Topps Now card celebrating the Phillies clinching the National League East pennant.
