5Looks like a very good deal for Boston. Harrison has now been traded twice, and has seen his stock fall along the way, but maybe the Brewers think they can unlock something there. Durbin is now a solid 2-WAR-ish player. The other pieces more or less balance out.
“Looks” like a very good deal for Boston but how is the elbow? He had arthroscopic elbow surgery Oct. 30. I’m always worried about trading for guys without an established record. Seen plenty of them that go right off the cliff after their first partial season. I’m not opposed to or hate the trade but I think this is a weak trade for the Sox. I don’t think it’s much of an upgrade from their internal options. I don’t understand all the love for Durbin. I get that he’s young, but his numbers weren’t THAT good. Apparently Milwaukee agrees. Like all trades, only time will tell. Breslow really missed out on helping/adding to the offense.
Wow! What a Breslow coup! An instant star for five years for more expendable parts. Hamilton was fun to watch with his speed, but the RS have too many lefties. Harrison mediocre pitcher or raw talent? Drohan is a shot in the dark. Another smaller RS trade has to occur with too many players!
I feel like this might be a mix of Durbin being slightly overrated and the SP prospects in the Brewers mind being underrated... Brewers are an organization that have been able to get the best out of pitchers so I wouldn't be surprised to see the pitchers in question double in value by mid season... Durbin is a baseball player so Boston should like him
I was hoping the Sox could get a more proven 3Bman, but this looks great!
