MLBCOM, the official website of the Major League Baseball (MLB), said on the 23rd (Korea time) that the Dodgers treated veteran left-handed pitcher James Paxton as a transfer nomination. The transfer nomination means that the team has been classified as out of power by removing the name from the 40-man roster. The absence of Paxton was taken by right-handed pitcher River Ryan (26), who will make his MLB debut against the San Francisco Giants on the same day.
Paxton from Canada joined the Dodgers on a short-term contract in January. An 11-year veteran of MLB this year, he is a starting pitcher who has won double-digit games for three consecutive years since 2017. However, his career declined significantly after undergoing Tommy John Surgery meant to link tendons in his elbow in 2021. He has posted eight wins, two losses and a 4.43 ERA in this year’s Dodgers, but ranks first among NL pitchers with 48 walks (4.8 per nine innings). His jagged pitches and inconsistent pitching have raised concerns and ended up making him cheaper. Paxton’s overall MLB performance is 72-40 with a 3.76 ERA.토토사이트 모음
Dodgers is under fire. Players who were undergoing rehabilitation including Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw will return to the team soon, and many of them will be out of their power like Paxton.
“The Dodgers are expected to be one of the most aggressive teams (by the trade deadline of this month),” MLBCOM said. “Over the next two months, Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Brewster Graterol and Ryan Brazier are expected to return. All of them will have to decide on the 40-man roster. The Dodgers’ roster may change significantly after 10 days. Paxton is just the first step.”
