The Boston Red Sox are acquiring infielder Caleb Durbin from the Milwaukee Brewers in a significant trade ahead of spring training. The deal involves the Red Sox sending a three-player package to Milwaukee, including left-hander Kyle Harrison, Shane Drohan, and infielder David Hamilton, along with additional prospects and a draft pick. Durbin, 25, had a strong rookie season in 2025, hitting .256 with 11 home runs, 53 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases, and is considered a versatile defender capable of playing third base and second base. The trade aims to bolster Boston’s infield, especially after the departure of Alex Bregman and uncertainty surrounding prospects Marcelo Mayer and Romy Gonzalez. The Red Sox are also exploring other trade options involving infielders such as Matt Shaw and Nico Hoerner, with potential interest from teams like the Cubs and Astros. The trade reflects Boston’s shift toward a run-prevention approach, and the return for Milwaukee includes promising young players like Harrison and Hamilton, as well as a competitive balance draft pick. The trade has received mixed reactions from fans and analysts, with some praising the value gained and others questioning the impact on team depth and future prospects. The Red Sox are under pressure to finalize their roster before spring training begins, with further moves expected as they continue to refine their infield and overall roster strategy.
