Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Trevor May, left, and catcher Shea Langeliers celebrate after defeating the Minnesota Twins in a baseball game Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023, in Minneapolis. “I don’t know why some of you guys are booing and are not happy, but I am happy,” May said.
May reiterated that he chose specifically to come to Oakland this year despite low expectations for the team because it would offer him an opportunity to get away from the noise he had faced elsewhere, including in New York with the Mets. May arrived as the A’s biggest-ticket free agent signing last offseason with a one-year, $7 million deal, and those early struggles brought his contract into focus for some fans, but his turnaround after addressing his mental health and that save on the fans’ own holiday of sorts endeared him to many.
“I don’t think I’ve hid it very well. I think that people who are close to me knew about this for a long time,” he said. “I have to be honest with you: Ever since the day I was drafted, I have not looked forward to reporting to spring training, only because I really enjoy a lot of other stuff. I enjoy my offseason and having time to do stuff that I enjoy, being around people. I’ve constantly had to move away from my family.
