Baseball player Walker Buehler, belonging to the Dodgers team, fell victim to a theft of his expensive watch at Santa Anita Park, Arcadia.
In a series of recent events surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers, a meet and greet with starting pitcher Walker Buehler is set to take place at the Cerritos Mall. The event has sparked excitement among rabid Dodger fans, with a long line already forming at Dick's Sporting Goods in anticipation.
However, the mood around the team has been somewhat sombre following the arrest and charges of starting pitcher Julio Uriás for felony domestic violence. Uriás, who had previously served a 20-game suspension by MLB for a similar incident, is not currently traveling with the team. The Dodgers have made no comment on the matter.
In a more light-hearted turn of events, it appears that Buehler, who hails from Lexington, Kentucky, may have had an unfortunate encounter at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. Reports suggest that his expensive watch, believed to be valued over $100,000, was allegedly taken by someone in a crowd that surrounded him and his wife. The identity of the perpetrator remains unknown.
On a positive note, Buehler is gearing up for Game 3 of the National League Division Series, scheduled to take place in San Diego on Tuesday. He is also the micro-share owner of the American Thoroughbred racehorse Authentic, which was trained by Bob Baffert and won the Kentucky Derby in 2020.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are still reeling from the loss of their charismatic former manager, Tommy Lasorda. Lasorda maintained a relationship with the Dodgers for an impressive 71 seasons, serving as a player, coach, manager, and executive. His passing has left a significant void in the Dodgers' family.
As for speculation surrounding Buehler's future with the team, it is rumoured that he may be leaving the Dodgers next year. However, these reports remain unconfirmed.
In the absence of definitive information regarding the incident involving Julio Uriás, the focus shifts back to the upcoming game. Buehler's determination and resilience, both on and off the field, continue to inspire the Dodgers' faithful. The team will undoubtedly be looking to him to deliver a strong performance in the upcoming series.
