Dodgers rumors: Dustin May drawing trade interest from World Series rival
The post Dodgers rumors: Dustin May drawing trade interest from World Series rival appeared first on ClutchPoints. It's no secret that Dustin May may not be long for the Los Angeles Dodgers. One of the feel-good stories of the early 2025 MLB season, returning to the mound after an esophageal tear nearly cost him his life, May has fallen on hard times as of late, turning in inconsistent performances in a starting rotation that is seemingly getting healthier by the day. With Tyler Glasnow back and as good as ever, Roki Sasaki approaching a return, and Blake Snell as good as back following his final rehab start in Oklahoma City, May could find himself the odd man out, both in Dave Roberts' rotation and of the team as a whole. Fortunately for both May and the Dodgers, if he is made available before the 2025 MLB trade deadline, it looks like he will have no shortage of suitors, including the New York Yankees, whom his team defeated in the World Series last fall. That's right, according to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, the Yankees have emerged as 'the early front runner' for May as a pitching option, joining a pitching rotation headlined by players like Max Fried and Carlos Rodon. Much like in LA, May could eat up crucial innings over the next few months before potentially transitioning to the bullpen in the postseason, when teams shrink their rotations but still need quality performers if something goes wrong. Should the Dodgers take calls from the Yankees regarding May? Sure, why not? If they don't view May as an important piece of their future, moving him for a better-fitting player could do wonders for a team stuck in the summer doldrums. Unfortunately, the Yankees are also a win-now team and would likely be offering prospects, not win-now players, in a move for May. Unless that's the best deal available, or the Dodgers surrender some of their farm team in a corresponding move, it may make more sense to ship May to a team like the Cleveland Guardians or the Arizona Diamondbacks for a player who can contribute right now.

There has been a familiar face on top of the leaderboard the first two days of the Golfweek Hoosier Amateur: Maddie May. The redshirt junior at Indiana remains in pole position after 36 holes at the Pfau Course in Bloomington, May's home course on the Indiana women's golf team.

She sits at 2 under for the tournament, five ahead of Nicole Johnson, a rising junior at Middle Tennessee State.

The rising redshirt junior at Indiana got off to a blazing start at the 5th annual edition of the Hoosier Amateur, carding a 4-under 67 on Tuesday in the opening round, setting a new tournament scoring record by two shots. She becomes the fourth player in the history of the Hoosier Amateur to break par at the Pfau Course, joining Erica Shepherd (2020, 69), Madison Dabagia (2024, 70) and Rachel Camp (2024, 70). "This is my third time playing the tournament, so I've always enjoyed coming back here and playing the Pfau in tournament conditions before we start the season up," May said. "I just drove the ball really well today, which helps a lot around the Pfau, and keeping it out of trouble. "I just gave myself birdie opportunities on a lot of holes and was able to convert a lot on the front nine, which was really good." May's round was the best of the opening round by five strokes. Nicole Johnson and Catherine Qui share second after 72s. She started with three consecutive birdies on Nos. 2-4 and added another at the par-5 ninth to turn in 32. On the back nine, she had a birdie and bogey offset, matched with seven pars, and it equaled a stellar opening performance. "That's just been my goal over the summer is just try to enjoy golf, take some pressure off the outcomes," May said.

Teeing off a new era: Dubai's Jumeirah Golf Estates embarks on ‘The Next Chapter'
Dubai continues to raise the stakes in the world of golf with the unveiling of a new championship course at Jumeirah Golf Estates (JGE), signaling the city's commitment to innovation in sport, luxury, and sustainable urban development. The latest addition, aptly named The Next Chapter, represents a significant expansion to the iconic JGE, joining the existing Earth and Fire championship courses. This new 18-hole layout is designed not only to elevate Dubai's status as a premier golf destination but also to reflect the city's forward-thinking vision for lifestyle and community planning. This ambitious project is part of a broader 4.68 million square metre masterplan spearheaded by Wasl Properties, the government-backed real estate developer. The development aims to position Dubai as a global hub for golf enthusiasts, from seasoned professionals to everyday players, while complementing the emirate's rapid urban growth. 'We're thrilled to introduce 'The Next Chapter' at Jumeirah Golf Estates, building on a strong legacy of world-class golfing experiences,' said Chris May, CEO of Dubai Golf, in an interview with Golf Digest. Distinct Experience, Inclusive Design He emphasized that this course will offer a different playing experience from the existing Earth and Fire layouts, balancing championship-level design with accessibility for golfers of all abilities. May added, 'The course is intended to be highly enjoyable and playable for a broad range of golfers, providing something fresh and unique to the JGE portfolio.' Reflecting Dubai's sustained momentum in golf, May also noted that several new courses are in the pipeline, including public-access venues to meet the rising demand among both residents and visitors, as reported earlier this month by Khaleej Times. Luxury Meets Golf Lifestyle One of the standout features of the new course is the integration of a luxury hotel directly within the golf environment, one of the first in the UAE. This innovative design allows guests to move effortlessly between playing on the course, relaxing in panoramic suites, and dining in the proposed on-site restaurants. 'This hotel integration transforms the golf experience, making the estate a green oasis for both golfers and non-golfers alike,' May highlighted. Supporting facilities such as a driving range, a coaching academy, and a grass nursery will ensure that the course maintains tournament-grade conditions year-round while nurturing future talent. Golf Driving Urban Vision While golf remains the heart of the project, the expansion of JGE aligns with Dubai's broader urban strategy, particularly its development around Dubai South and the Al Maktoum International Airport. This connection underscores the estate's role not only as a sporting venue but as a vital part of the city's evolving community fabric. Hesham Abdullah Al Qassim, Group CEO of Wasl, commented, 'The Next Chapter marks a key milestone for Wasl and embodies the future of urban development in Dubai. Through visionary planning and sustainable design, we are committed to enhancing the quality of life in the communities we build.' With over 30 golf courses across the UAE, including renowned venues like Emirates Golf Club and Yas Links Abu Dhabi, this new project further cements Dubai's reputation as a destination where golf is more than a sport, it's a lifestyle. Dubai's Visionary Golf Future The Next Chapter is more than a name; it's a bold statement of Dubai's ongoing commitment to sporting excellence and visionary urban growth, ensuring that Jumeirah Golf Estates remains at the forefront of the city's dynamic evolution.
