The Boston Red Sox have officially acquired third baseman Caleb Durbin from the Milwaukee Brewers. This trade is part of a strategic move aimed at strengthening the team’s roster.
Trade Details
The trade was confirmed by sources and reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The Red Sox are sending three players back to Milwaukee as part of this deal:
- Kyle Harrison – Left-handed pitcher
- David Hamilton – Infielder
- Shane Drohan – Left-handed pitcher
Caleb Durbin’s Performance
Caleb Durbin, 25, showcased his potential during his rookie season with the Brewers in 2025. His statistics include:
- Batting Average: .256
- Home Runs: 11
- RBIs: 53
- Stolen Bases: 18
Durbin’s acquisition comes as the Red Sox address a gap left by Alex Bregman’s departure in free agency. Before this trade, Marcelo Mayer, a notable prospect, was slated to take over the third base position. However, injuries have hindered Mayer’s progress.
Players Exchanged
The players leaving Boston have their own notable stats:
- Kyle Harrison, 24, posted a 4.04 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 35 2/3 innings.
- David Hamilton, in his third season with the Red Sox, batted .198, hitting six home runs and 19 RBIs across 91 games.
This trade reflects the Red Sox’s commitment to enhancing their lineup by bringing in a promising talent like Durbin while parting with players who have shown potential but may not fit into the team’s future plans.
