Harrison Thrives, Durbin Struggles in Trade

0:00On April 6th, Boston Red Sox made ways this off-season, trading for infielder Caleb Durbin from the Milwaukee Brewers in a six-player swap. They sent over lefty pitchers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drowhand Plus infielder David Hamilton, picking up Durbin along with Andrew Monasterio and Anthony Seagler. But early this season, one guy they let go is straight dominating. Harrison, who the socks grabbed earlier from the Giants in the Raphael Devers deal, only tossed three big league games for Boston. He's shown in the minors though, posting a 375 ERA at Triple A Worcester. Now with the Brewers, he's lit up in two starts, racking 14 strikeouts while giving up just three earned runs over 10 and a third innings. Fans are buzzing because Durbin is ice cold, just two for 28 to open the year. That has folks saying the socks might have fumbled this trade already, especially since Harrison's looking like the real prize. His strikeout rate is through the roof now, highest of his MLB career. Meanwhile, the Brewers tweet Harrison's delivery and it's paying off big.

1:04He's only walked three while looking way sharper than with the Giants or socks. Durbin showed promise last season so he could flip the script with time left in the year. Brewers rolled into Boston Monday though Harrison sits that one out, perfect chance for Durbin to spark against his old squad and even the score.
