Boston Red Sox trade for Caleb Durbin, utility players and draft pick revitalizes roster

The Boston Red Sox completed a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers that sent pitcher Kyle Harrison, infielder David Hamilton and reliever Shane Drohan to Milwaukee. In return, Boston received prospect Caleb Durbin, utility infielder Andruw Monasterio, switch‑throwing second baseman Anthony Seigler and a competitive‑balance draft pick. The Red Sox used the pick to select outfielder Owen Hull in the 2023 MLB draft.

Durbin, who struggled early in the season, rebounded with a .294 average in June‑July and added eight home runs. Seigler, the only active MLB player who both bats and throws left‑handed, has appeared in 18 games, posting a .797 OPS and helping Boston post a 13‑5 record when in the lineup. Monasterio has provided solid utility depth, while Hull is expected to develop as a power‑speed outfielder. The trade is viewed as a key factor in Boston’s recent turnaround after injuries to core infielders.
