The Los Angeles Dodgers are trading right-handed pitcher Dustin May to the Boston Red Sox, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
In return, the Dodgers are acquiring outfielder prospect James Tibbs III, a former first-round pick by the San Francisco Giants who was sent to the Red Sox in the blockbuster Rafael Devers trade.
Wow. The Dodgers got OF James Tibbs — Boston’s No. 5 prospect and the ex-Giants first-round pick acquired in the Rafael Devers trade — for Dustin May.
That is an impressive return for May, on an expiring contract.
A really smart move from the Dodgers to close out the deadline.
