The Dodgers pulled a major trade off by sending Dustin May to the Red Sox. But how did the deal come into fruition?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0pulled off a stunner on\u00a0MLB Trade Deadline\u00a0day. They joined in on altering their own roster \u2014 by dealing away\u00a0Dustin May.<\/p>\n

The Boston Red Sox completed the major deal Thursday to land May. The right-hander brings two World Series championship rings in tow to Fenway Park. May played an integral role on the hill during the 2020 WS run. But missed the entire 2024 run due to surgery on an esophageal tear.<\/p>\n

But what led to\u00a0Dave Roberts\u00a0and the Dodgers completing the trade? Team insider Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic\u00a0shared info on how the deal came into fruition. Which involved a conversation with L.A.’s general manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrandon Gomes said the Dodgers had \u2018respectful conversations’ with Dustin May in recent days and said May\u2019s preference was to be a starter \u2014 so the Dodgers were willing to facilitate for the right deal,\u201d Ardaya said.<\/p>\n

However, did May wanted out of L.A.? Ardaya cleared the air there.<\/p>\n

\u201cGomes specified that May did not request a trade,\u201d Ardaya said.<\/p>\n

Dustin May linked to another potential blockbuster Dodgers deal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Boston boosts its mound lineup as the Red Sox make their push for a postseason spot. May is currently 6-7 as a starter with a 4.85 ERA.<\/p>\n

The American League franchise, however, likely overheard a significant rival trying to swoop May up.<\/p>\n

The New York Yankees rose as a rumored front runner\u00a0to attempt a trade deal for May. The same Yankees who fell to the Dodgers in the 2024 World Series.<\/p>\n

Former Dodger\u00a0Alex Cora\u00a0helps facilitate the move to bring in the veteran pitcher. May’s departure comes during a transitional time to on the mound.<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani\u00a0re-emerged as a starting pitcher for L.A. Ohtani has flamed 15 strikeouts in his last five games. Meanwhile,\u00a0Yoshinobu Yamamoto\u00a0remains the leading stats leader.\u00a0Clayton Kershaw\u00a0also continues to hang around the roster \u2014 including breaking into the 3,000-strikeout club.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
