The Boston Red Sox are acquiring third baseman Caleb Durbin in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The deal sends the infielder to Boston as the Red Sox look to fortify their roster depth.
Heading back to the Brewers is a three-player package headlined by left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison. While Harrison is the primary piece of the return for Milwaukee, the other two players included in the trade have not yet been identified. The transaction marks a significant swap of young talent between the two clubs.
Durbin joins the Red Sox organization after showing promise within the Brewers' system, while Harrison, a highly-regarded southpaw, provides Milwaukee with a significant addition to their pitching staff. Further details regarding the remaining players in the package and the timing of the physicals are expected to follow as the trade is finalized by the league office.
