In that scenario, Durbin joins a group that includes <strong>Marcelo Mayer<\/strong>, <strong>Isiah Kiner-Falefa<\/strong> (pending physical exam), and <strong>Romy Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong>, all capable of playing multiple infield positions.\n\nDespite his light build (1.70 meters), Durbin had a notable impact on the Brewers, champions of the National League Central Division in 2025. In <strong>445 at-bats<\/strong>, he hit <strong>11 home runs<\/strong>, <strong>25 doubles<\/strong>, stole <strong>18 bases<\/strong> and accumulated a <strong>bWAR of 2.8<\/strong>, standing out for his control of the strike zone and his offensive consistency.\n\nThe main piece sent to Milwaukee is the left-handed <strong>Kyle Harrison<\/strong>, a former high-profile prospect who arrived in Boston in the trade involving <strong>Rafael Devers<\/strong> last June. However, the depth of young starters with contractual control left Harrison without a clear spot on the Opening Day roster. Since his debut in 2023, the pitcher has an ERA of <strong>4.39<\/strong> in <strong>42 appearances<\/strong>, <strong>37 as a starter<\/strong>.\n\nVenezuelan <strong>Andruw Monasterio<\/strong>, <strong>28 years old<\/strong>, adds additional depth to Boston&#8217;s infield. In 2025, he played in <strong>68 games<\/strong> with Milwaukee, batting <strong>.270<\/strong>, with <strong>nine doubles<\/strong>, <strong>four home runs<\/strong>, and <strong>16 RBIs<\/strong>, in addition to playing multiple infield positions and occasionally in the outfield. In Triple-A Nashville, he recorded a batting average of <strong>.250<\/strong> and an on-base percentage of <strong>.346<\/strong>.\n\nFor his part, <strong>Anthony Seigler<\/strong>, <strong>26 years old<\/strong>, arrives as an organizational depth option. In his first season in the Major Leagues, he participated in <strong>34 games<\/strong> with the Brewers. The left-handed hitter and ambidextrous pitcher was originally selected by the <strong>New York Yankees<\/strong> in the first round of the <strong>2018 Draft<\/strong>.\n\nWith this move, the Red Sox continue to strengthen their roster with a view to a 2026 season in which the flexibility and depth of the infield will be key.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FORT MYERS, Florida.\u2013 The Boston Red Sox continued their infield restructuring this Monday, on the eve of the official start of Spring Training, by acquiring infielder Caleb Durbin, a finalist for the 2025 National League Rookie of the Year award, in a six-player trade with the Milwaukee Brewers.
