Milwaukee Brewers' Caleb Durbin celebrates after a double against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the seventh inning in Game 3 of baseball's National League Championship Series, Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Boston receives Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, Anthony Seigler and a Competitive Balance Round B draft pick, while Milwaukee gets Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton and Shane Drohan.
  • Durbin, 25, finished third in 2025 NL Rookie of the Year voting after hitting .256/.334/.387 with 11 home runs and 18 steals in 136 games.
  • A strong defender at third who has also played second and short, Durbin is under team control through 2031 and gives the Red Sox options at both second and third base.
  • The move addresses an infield opening that followed Alex Bregman’s free-agent departure to the Cubs and sets up a spring competition to define Durbin’s role.
  • Kyle Harrison headlines the Brewers’ return as a notable young left-hander previously acquired in the Rafael Devers trade, while Boston also adds a pick projected around 67th overall in July.
