Walker Buehler's journey with the Boston Red Sox is shaping up to be a fascinating story this season. After signing a one-year deal, he’s eager to prove himself and secure a long-term future in Boston. But can he reclaim his former glory after multiple injuries, including two Tommy John surgeries?

Let’s dive into the discussion. Do you think Buehler can return to being the dominant pitcher he was from 2019 to 2021? Or are we witnessing the twilight of his career? Given that pitchers often take two years to fully recover from Tommy John surgery, what are your expectations for his performance this season?

Moreover, with the Red Sox's promising Big Three prospects—Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, and Marcelo Mayer—how do you see Buehler fitting into the team's long-term plans? Could he be a mentor for these young talents, or will he be more focused on his own comeback?

And here’s a bold prediction: If Buehler can stay healthy and post an ERA under 4.00 this season, will the Red Sox offer him a multi-year deal? Or will they look elsewhere, considering the volatility of his recent performance?

Let’s hear your thoughts! What are your experiences with players making comebacks after injuries? Do you believe in Buehler's potential to rise again, or is it time for the Red Sox to start looking for new pitching talent?
