Red Sox Regret: Tibbs Thriving with Dodgers

On April 1st, Boston Red Sox kicking off the 2026 season on a sour note, dropping four

straight games and sitting dead last in the AL.

East.

Playoff chances already looking slim.

Adding salt to the wound, their old prospect James Tibs III is tearing it up in Triple

A for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Tibs came to Boston last June in the Rafael Devas deal from the San Francisco Giants.

He struggled in AA with Portland, so at the trade deadline, the Sox shipped him and another

guy to the Dodgers for pitcher Dustin May, hoping to, bolster the rotation.

May kept struggling with Boston, then got hurt and bolted in free agency to the St. Louis

Cardinals.

Fans are shaking their heads, wishing the team held onto Tibs longer since he was a big

piece in that Devas return.

Now the 23-year-old first baseman and outfielder is on fire with the Oklahoma City Comets.

In his first four games, he smashed three home runs, four doubles, a triple, nine

RBI hitting 556 over 600 with a one point, 389 slugging.

Red Sox got a pattern here, handing the Dodgers stars like Mookie Betts before, hoping Tibs

doesn't join that club come debut time.
