Left-hander James Paxton and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to an $11 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.
Paxton can earn up to $13 million if he is healthy during the early part of the season and starts at least 20 games.
He joins a Dodgers rotation projected to include fellow newcomers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow along with Walker Buehler, returning from Tommy John surgery, and Bobby Miller or Emmet Sheehan.
