Dodgers signed LHP James Paxton to a one-year, $11 million contract.
The contract also gives Paxton the opportunity to earn an additional $2 million in incentives — $1 million of which he’ll get if he cracks the Opening Day roster. The 35-year-old southpaw made 19 starts for the Red Sox in 2023, registering a 4.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 101/33 K/BB ratio over 96 innings of work. As long as he’s healthy, he’ll have a spot in the Dodgers’ starting rotation and will be a viable option from a fantasy perspective.
