The Boston Red Sox have acquired right-handed pitcher Dustin May from the Los Angeles Dodgers just minutes before Thursday's Major League Baseball trade deadline, the team announced Thursday. In return, the Dodgers will receive outfielder/first baseman James Tibbs III and outfielder Zach Ehrhard. Tibbs is one of the prospects the Red Sox received in the recent trade of Rafael Devers to the Giants.
May, who turns 28 years of age in September, has mostly struggled this season for the Dodgers. In 18 starts and one relief appearance, May has pitched to a 4.85 ERA (84 ERA+) with 97 strikeouts and 40 unintentional walks in 104 innings. The 2025 season marks his comeback from Tommy John surgery. For his career, May has an ERA+ of 113 across parts of six MLB seasons. He's owed the balance of a $2.14 million salary for 2025 and is eligible for free agency this coming offseason...
