As you probably know by now, Monday night saw the Yankees make a major move, acquiring starting pitcher James Paxton from the Mariners. In return, the Yankees sent them pitchers Justus Sheffield and Erik Swanson, as well as outfielder Dom Thompson-Williams.
The 30-year old Paxton will be in his seventh seasons in the major leagues when he takes the field in 2019. When healthy, Paxton has been a pretty good starter with a career 3.76 ERA, 117 ERA+, and 3.13 FIP.
His major drawback has been the “when healthy” part, as his 160.
