2023-12-25 11:52:27

The Red Sox need starting pitching and according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, Boston is “demonstrating strong interest” in bringing back the left-hander. James Paxton.

Paxton had a 4.50 ERA in 19 starts for the Red Sox in 2023, when he was limited by injuries. In fact, ailments have been a theme for the 35-year-old veteran, especially in recent seasons. In fact, the Canadian signed with Boston before the 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in April of the previous year, when he was a member of the Mariners.

Paxton missed all of 2022 and made his Red Sox debut in May of this year. But hamstring and knee injuries limited him, to the point that he had a 6.98 earned run average in his last nine starts.
