After missing out on the highly sought-after Yoshinobu Yamamoto this week, the Red Sox are reportedly pursuing a reunion with one starting pitcher.
Boston is reportedly “showing strong interest” in re-signing free agent left-hander James Paxton, according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford.
Paxton, who the Red Sox traded for from the Seattle Mariners in 2021, started 19 games for Boston in 2023. He posted a 4.50 earned run average over 96 innings.
