About 30 minutes before the 2025 trade deadline's end, Boston Red Sox fans were duped by some hasty Tweets, and briefly believed they had landed Joe Ryan from the Minnesota Twins. Their ecstasy was fleeting, as the real report that the Sox had traded for longtime Los Angeles Dodger Dustin May came in and took the wind out of everyone's sails.
But it only took two outings for May to post an ace-like performance. May showed Boston what he's capable of against the Houston Astros on August 12 after he went six shutout innings with eight strikeouts.
