Moises Bolivar Heads To Dodgers In Paxton Trade
The Red Sox acquired old friend LHP James Paxton from the Dodgers on Friday. Los Angeles had designated Paxton for assignment earlier this week. The 35-year-old lefthander, who spent all of 2023 with Boston, went 8-2, 4.43 in 89.1 innings (18 starts) with the Dodgers this season, although his 6.4 K/9 is the lowest of his career. In exchange, the Dodgers acquired 3B/1B Moises Bolivar, who signed with the Red Sox as an international free agent this past winter. Boliver hit .270/.364/.423 with three homers through 31 games in the Dominican Summer League while primarily playing third base and showing solid approach/strike-zone management.
