Dodgers Consider Trading Dustin May Amid Pitching Depth

The Dodgers entered the season with high expectations but faced numerous pitching injuries. With pitchers like Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and Shohei Ohtani returning, Dustin May's role is less certain. He could move to the bullpen or be traded. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports the Dodgers are hesitant to trade top minor league prospects.

One potential trade scenario involves May being sent to the Baltimore Orioles for outfielder Cedric Mullins, who is having a down year but has All-Star potential. However, the Orioles would likely seek additional assets due to May's pending free agency. This move would address the Dodgers' need for outfield depth following Michael Conforto's injury.

May's trade value is impacted by his free agent status and his current performance, including a career-low fastball velocity and swinging-strike percentage. The Dodgers must weigh these factors against their need for immediate bullpen support or an offensive boost.

With the return of injured pitchers, May's role is less defined, and he could be used to address other team needs.

The Dodgers are reportedly seeking bullpen help and potentially an outfielder.

One suggested trade partner is the Baltimore Orioles, for outfielder Cedric Mullins.
