Mariners To Sign James Paxton
By TC Zencka | February 13, 2021 at 9:07pm CDT
The Seattle Mariners have an agreement in place with James Paxton, per Chad Dey of Sportsnet650 (via Twitter). The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal confirms the deal. Paxton will make $8.5MM on a one-year deal with bonuses that could make the deal worth as much as $10MM, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan (via Twitter).
Paxton returns to the team that drafted him in the fourth round of the 2010 draft.
More to come…

I like it, IF he's healthy. If they could bring back Walker along with Pax, all of a sudden we have legitimate potential for a pretty damn good rotation.

I didn't realize Hultzen was still in MLB. I thiught he had become a real estate agent or was playing ball in some distant country.
