After being "kind of pushed out" in Los Angeles, new Red Sox starter Dustin May is excited to join a pennant race — and keep starting — in Boston.

Dustin May was on the verge of being ‘pushed out’ of the Dodgers starting rotation when they traded him to the Red Sox.

Dustin May and the Boston Red Sox are both hoping to make the most of an awkward situation. May arrived in Boston on Thursday in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who didn't want him in their starting rotation anymore.
