Dodgers acquired OF prospect James Tibbs III and OF prospect Zach Ehrhard from the Red Sox in exchange for RHP Dustin May.

We’re not sure how the Dodgers were able to get two prospects in the Red Sox’s top 30 overall prospects for two months of May, especially Tibbs, who was Boston’s 5th-ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. Tibbs was the 13th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft and was a central component of the return package in the Rafael Devers trade earlier this summer. That being said, Tibbs hit just .205/.321/.268 in 29 games in Double-A for Boston with a 27.6 percent strikeout rate, so the organization may have questioned his long-term upside. That being said, he’s just 22 years old, so it feels very early to give up on him.
