BOSTON (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded pitcher James Paxton to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for minor league infielder Moises Bolivar. Bolivar, a 17-year-old from Venezuela, hit .270 with three home runs and 19 RBIs with the Dominican Summer League Red Sox. He agreed to a minor league contract with Boston in January for a $25,000 signing bonus. Paxton was designated for assignment on Monday, a day after he pitched against the Red Sox and earned the win. The 35-year-old left-hander was 8-2 with a 4.43 ERA in 18 starts with the Dodgers this season.
