The Milwaukee Brewers made a shocking trade earlier this offseason that sent starting third baseman Caleb Durbin and two other depth infielders to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton, and Shane Drohan.
Trading Durbin didn’t make much sense at the time, as the Brewers didn’t have much depth behind him.
They could be looking to start Hamilton, who was acquired in the deal, but he hit under .200 last year, which doesn’t fit how the Brewers typically construct their lineup. They could also be looking to bring top infield prospect Jett Williams to the big leagues to take over in Durbin’s place.

But on Friday, the Brewers made the move to replace Durbin that the fanbase has been waiting for.
