In the final minutes of the trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox struck a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers for starting pitcher Dustin May. May slots into the final spot in the rotation, pushing out Richard Fitts, and is expected to make his Red Sox debut on Wednesday against the Royals. The 27-year-old righty is a free agent at the end of the season and is looking to improve on a rough first half of 2025.
May joins Boston sporting a 4.85 ERA over 104 innings this season. He has 97 strikeouts to 43 walks and a WHIP of 1.
