At one point early in his career, it looked like Dustin May was going to be the next great Dodgers ace. While injuries never allowed for his career to take off the way people expected, he still contributed to the team’s postseason run in 2020 and finished his Dodgers career with three separate seasons with an ERA under 3.00.
But, in the end, that still wasn’t enough to save him this year, as the Dodgers elected to trade May to the Red Sox at the trade deadline buzzer. According to General Manager Brandon Gomes, the trade occurred in part due to fluctuations in the market throughout the day.
