The Red Sox acquired DFA’d James Paxton from the Dodgers:

The Boston Red Sox acquired left-hander James Paxton from the Los Angeles Dodgers for minor league infielder Moises Bolivar on Friday, attempting to fortify their rotation as they chase a playoff spot in a wide-open American League landscape.

The deal for Paxton, 35, comes after Los Angeles designated him for assignment Monday. Paxton had thrown 89? innings of 4.43 ERA ball over 18 starts this season, helping stabilize an injury-riddled rotation as he had done in 2023 with Boston.

Bolivar at seasonal age 16 is playing rookie ball, hitting .270/.364/.423. He’s playing mostly third base, but at 16 the sky’s the limit. That really is a good pickup for a DFA’d player.
