ANALYSIS
It was reported earlier Friday that the Red Sox and Dodgers were in talks regarding the left-hander, and the deal now appears done. There's no word yet on what the Dodgers will be getting in the trade. Paxton's swing-and-miss stuff has disappeared this season, as he's managed just 64 strikeouts over 89.1 innings with the Dodgers. However, he fanned 101 in 96 frames with the Red Sox just last season and a return to the state of Massachusetts could help him recapture some of that.
