After dealing with several injuries over his promising career, left-handed starter James Paxton announced on WEEI’s “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast on Wednesday that he intends to retire at the conclusion of the 2024 season.
“I think after this season I’m going to be retiring and moving on to the next chapter,” Paxton told WEEI’s Rob Bradford. “It’s tough. Obviously, I think I can still do it. I think I can still compete and help a team win. But I just think where my family is at and what they need right now, they need me home.
