Scott Boras, famed baseball agent, sat down with Brendan Kuty of NJ.com to discuss the status of his client, New York Yankees pitcher James Paxton.
A forearm flexor strain saw Paxton go on the IL after five games in 2020 and stay there for the rest of the season. He had a 1-1 record with a 6.64 ERA while seeing his velocity dip.
“[James] made every effort to try to contribute this year, but the back rehab just wasn’t there yet and he just needed more time to where he could really go through his normal mechanics of 2019,” said Boras to NJ.
