With a week to go before Major League Baseball’s July 30 trade deadline, the Red Sox plan — whether to be buyer or seller — remains largely a mystery. Still, a few potential moves are starting to come into view.
One of them is a familiar name: James Paxton. The 35-year-old was recently designated for assignment by the Dodgers despite being tied with Gavin Stone and Tyler Glasnow for the most starts this season for Los Angeles with 18. In that time, he’s compiled an 8-2 record with a 4.43 ERA.
According to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the Red Sox could try to re-acquire the pitcher who made 19 starts for Boston in 2023.
