Overview

  • Boston acquired right-hander Dustin May from the Dodgers just before the July 31 deadline, sending minor leaguers James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard to Los Angeles.
  • May threw a career-high 104 innings this season after returning from multiple surgeries and logged a 6-7 record with a 4.85 ERA and 97 strikeouts.
  • Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes said the team held respectful conversations with May—who did not request a trade but preferred to remain a starter—before facilitating the deal.
  • Red Sox president of baseball operations Craig Breslow praised May’s postseason experience and durability as key ingredients for bolstering Boston’s playoff rotation.
  • May joins Boston’s rotation immediately for its postseason push while the Dodgers integrate Tibbs III and Ehrhard into their outfield pipeline.
