The Los Angeles Dodgers parted ways with several longtime players throughout the 2025 season, including right-handed pitcher Dustin May.

May spent the first five seasons of his career with the Dodgers, and was traded in the middle of his sixth season to the Boston Red Sox at the July trade deadline. In exchange for May, the Dodgers received outfielders James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard.

Despite being traded from the San Francisco Giants to the Red Sox as part of the Rafael Devers trade then being dealt once again to the Dodgers, Tibbs posted a .900 OPS with Double-A Tulsa and finished the season with 20 homers.

“It’s hard to remember another player who went through more in a first full season — being traded twice and still navigating his way up to Double-A successfully,” Dodgers vice president of player development Will Rhymes said to MLB.com. “It speaks to his resiliency, which is such a valuable trait. Everyone knows about the hitting ability, but I was also impressed with his defense in the outfield and at first base.”

As for Ehrhard, the outfielder stole 37 bases in 2025 along with 14 homers and 30 doubles. Following the trade to LA, he posted an .857 OPS with Tulsa.

“He never takes a pitch off on either side of the ball; he’s grinding and competing with the best of them,” Rhymes said. “We love the way he impacts the game with his speed on the bases and in the outfield in addition to being a well-balanced hitter.”

Parting ways with May always made sense as he didn’t fit into the starting rotation with the plethora of pitching talent on the Dodgers roster, but the team also received a good return package in Tibbs and Ehrhard that will help them for the foreseeable future. May is now a free agent after struggling with the Red Sox.
