The Boston Red Sox's 2025 trade deadline is widely considered a failure. Instead, Craig Breslow, the team's chief baseball officer, decided to invest in lower-tier additions to help push the team over the hump and into the postseason.

Dustin May and the Boston Red Sox are both hoping to make the most of an awkward situation. May arrived in Boston on Thursday in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who didn't want him in their starting rotation anymore.

After being "kind of pushed out" in Los Angeles, new Red Sox starter Dustin May is excited to join a pennant race — and keep starting — in Boston.
