James Paxton could end up being one of the top pitchers on the market if the Red Sox opt to be sellers ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
However, Paxton indicated following his latest outing that he’d like to remain in Boston for now, or at least that’s how handling things.
“I’m focused with what we’re doing here,” Paxton told reporters Saturday. “That [trade] stuff is totally out of my control. I’m not trying to think about that at all. Obviously, you see it, you hear it, but no control. For me, I’m focused on winning here with Boston.
