'8-2' starter Paxton

Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers will release veteran starting pitcher Paxton, who has performed well this season.

MLB.COM reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time) that "the Dodgers have decided to put left-hander Paxton on the waiting list for release."

Paxton signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Dodgers for about 9.7 billion won after posting a 7-5 record and 4.50 ERA with the Boston Red Sox last season.

Paxton, who changed his uniform, played his part as a starting pitcher for the Dodgers, which had a number of injured players.

His performance so far today is 8-2 with a 4.43 ERA, which is better than last season.

In yesterday's match against Boston, he recorded four hits, four walks, seven strikeouts, and three runs in five innings.

The reason why the Dodgers release Paxton, a "decent starting resource," without conditions is that there are many players who will return in the future.

MLB.COM explained, "Starters Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw should return this week, and prospective right-hander River Ryan should make his big league debut this week."

We need empty seats to put them on the 40-man roster.

Dodgers insiders also expect Paxton's performance in the second half to drop significantly.

ESPN said, "Pacston has allowed the most walks in the National League, and the strikeout rate is also at the bottom," adding, "The expected ERA is in the bottom 20% level."

The Dodgers, who are aiming to win the World Series, are determined to find new engines through drastic changes in their squad.

MLB.COM said that many key players including Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will return to the Dodgers in the future. "The Dodgers' roster could change significantly. The release of Paxton is just the beginning."
