The Red Sox acquired starter Dustin May from the Dodgers on Thursday, filling their need for pitching help. Los Angeles received outfield prospect James Tibbs III in return.

The Boston Red Sox's 2025 trade deadline is widely considered a failure. Instead, Craig Breslow, the team's chief baseball officer, decided to invest in lower-tier additions to help push the team over the hump and into the postseason.

After being "kind of pushed out" in Los Angeles, new Red Sox starter Dustin May is excited to join a pennant race — and keep starting — in Boston.
