What's Happening?
The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded pitcher Dustin May to the Boston Red Sox, acquiring outfielder prospect James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard in return. May, on an expiring contract, was not expected to play a major role in the Dodgers' rotation. Tibbs, a former first-round pick, offers potential future value for the Dodgers, while Ehrhard adds depth to their outfield prospects.
Why It's Important?
