"Ten years from now, will you even remember that Dustin May was ever on the Red Sox? Given the way he came to the team as the headliner of a flaccid trade deadline effort by Craig Breslow, you might."
"But I'm willing to bet his time in Boston will be almost totally forgotten. Which is why it's hilarious the Red Sox representative at the first ever "MLB Open" is... Dustin May: Talk about what you want, stay out of the sand, and be good to one another."
Dustin May arrived in Boston as the headliner of a flaccid trade-deadline effort led by Craig Breslow. The acquisition lacked fanfare and substantive impact, leaving his tenure with the team tenuous and easily overlooked. Expectations for a lasting legacy in Boston appear minimal, and memories of his time with the club will likely fade over the next decade. The choice of May as the Red Sox representative at the inaugural MLB Open creates an ironic contrast between his marginal role and the visibility of the event. The closing admonition urges staying out of the sand and being good to one another.
