It was tough. James is an absolute pro. I was very fortunate, we were all fortunate, to get to have him don the Dodger uniform. It's one of those decisions that is very difficult. Trying to understand the guys we have coming back, the guys we want to get looks at, and in particular, some starters, so it was a difficult decision. He handled it like a pro.
Brandon Gomes called him this morning and I followed up with a phone call. Like I said, he handled it great. Grateful for his time and we were very fortunate to have him.
Paxton signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Dodgers that included a signing bonus and performance incentives. He originally agreed to a one-year contract for $11 million, but the deal was reworked amid some health concerns.
