They've lost five in a row, they're tied for the worst record in baseball and they just got swept by the Houston Astros. And if that wasn't bad enough, former Red Sox prospect James Tibbs III is off to a scintillating start in Triple-A for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tibbs was one of the four players Boston acquired from the San Francisco Giants last June in the Rafael Devers trade .
He was only in the Red Sox organization for a month and a half, however, playing just 30 games for Double-A Portland before getting traded again to the Dodgers for Dustin May at the trade deadline. Unfortunately for Boston, the move didn't pan out. May struggled for the Red Sox, going 1-4 with a 5.
40 ERA in 28 1/3 innings before getting hurt. He departed in free agency during the offseason, joining the St. Louis Cardinals.
