EXCLUSIVE
Walker Buehler got the best welcome-back-to-L.A. surprise at the airport Thursday … he learned from our camera guy his Dodgers squad signed A.J. Pollock!!!
"We signed him today?! We signed him while I was on the plane?!"
The 24-year-old pitching phenom took the breaking news with a smile … and said he was stoked to have yet another All-Star on the team.
"That's cool, man. He's a good player. That's cool, man. I'm excited!"
As for if Pollock is the missing piece the Dodgers need to finally get them a World Series ring … ya gotta hear what Buehler as to say about that.
BTW … Walker's been away from L.A. for the past couple months — and says he's done nothing but relax with his girlfriend (who he introduced us to!) since the World Series.
But, pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 12 … sooo, time to get back to work!!!
