The post Red Sox fans are regretting the Dustin May trade<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Red Sox pitcher <\/a>Dustin May<\/a> looked like one of the brightest young stars in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n

A former Los Angeles Dodgers prospect who famously suffered an esophageal injury that nearly cost him his baseball career and life, May was a major part of Dave Roberts\u2019 rotation at the start of the 2025 MLB season, helping to cover for the absences of Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow from the rotation. And yet, as the Dodgers got healthier, May fell down the proverbial depth chart, with a potential move to the bullpen coming had he remained in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Dodgers traded May to Boston for James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard<\/a>, where he was expected to become a serious contributor to the Red Sox\u2019s rotation.<\/p>\n

While May has shown flashes of being the player both the Dodgers and the Red Sox envisioned in Boston red and white, his inconsistency has traveled from Los Angeles to Beantown<\/a>, with the 27-year-old surrendering eight hits and seven runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates, including a monster home run to Oneil Cruz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This effort, unsurprisingly, got fans in Boston and beyond heated, with some, like Section 10 podcast host Steve Perrault, boldly declaring that May simply \u201cain\u2019t\u00a0it.<\/a>\u201d Others, like Underdog Sports\u2019 Jared Carrabis, noted that he simply isn\u2019t enjoying the \u201cDustin May Experience,<\/a>\u201d even if some in his comments section didn\u2019t necessarily agree with him.<\/p>\n

Facing off against the worst offense in baseball, May turned in one of his worst performances of the season, with even five strikeouts failing to overcome his clear issues in a game he left with a massive deficit. While only time will tell if May can get things together for the Red Sox down the stretch in this a contract year, if he continues to turn in inconsistent efforts, it will leave the soon-to-be UDFA in an interesting spot heading into free agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n
