Durbin Deal Gives Red Sox Infield Flexibility After Third-Base Opening

Boston landed Caleb Durbin from Milwaukee in a six-player deal that sent left-handers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan, and infielder David Hamilton to the Brewers, with Milwaukee also receiving Andruw Monasterio, Anthony Seigler and a competitive balance round B pick in July. Durbin, 26, who can play third or second, batted .256/.334 with 11 homers and 18 steals in 136 games last season and could fill Boston’s third-base opening after Alex Bregman left in free agency.

Red Sox land Durbin in six-player swap to anchor infield

Boston acquired Caleb Durbin from the Brewers in a six-player deal that also brought Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler to Boston, while sending Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton and Shane Drohan to Milwaukee. Durbin, a speedy, versatile infielder with strong defense and contact hitting, is the centerpiece as the Red Sox pivot toward pitching depth and defense at the infield ahead of spring training.

Red Sox clear payroll space as they court an infielder

Red Sox clear payroll space as they court an infielder

The Red Sox traded reliever Jordan Hicks (plus minor-leaguer David Sandlin, cash and two players to be named later) to the White Sox for pitching prospect Gage Ziehl and a player to be named later, sending $8 million of Hicks’ $24 million owed and freeing two 40-man spots. The deal lowers Boston’s 2026 luxury-tax payroll to about $258 million (roughly $6 million under the second tax tier) and sets the stage for an infield addition, with targets discussed including Nico Hoerner, Matt Shaw, Ketel Marte, Brendan Donovan, and Marcelo Mayer. Hicks posted an 8.20 ERA and was limited by injuries, helping motivate the move.

White Sox land pitching prospect in Hicks-Sandlin swap with Red Sox

Chicago acquired right-hander Gage Ziehl from the Red Sox in exchange for Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin, with Boston taking on a portion of Hicks’s remaining $12.5 million salary; Ziehl, a 22-year-old former Yankees fourth-round pick, had been viewed as a strong pitching prospect by Chicago, while Sandlin was Boston’s No. 9 prospect last season. The move is part of Chicago’s ongoing payroll reshaping as they rebuild after several losing seasons.

Red Sox Sign 99-MPH Reliever Tayron Guerrero to Minor League Deal

The Boston Red Sox signed right-hander Tayron Guerrero to a minor-league contract with an invite to major-league camp. The 35-year-old, who pitched for the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan in 2025 after a 2019 MLB stint, is known for a 99 mph fastball but uneven command. He will report to camp with a shot at a midseason call if he impresses in exhibition action and at Triple-A Worcester.

Donovan on the Trade Radar as Red Sox Weigh Keystone Move

Brendan Donovan remains with the Cardinals as the Red Sox, Mariners and Giants circle, with Boston potentially using him to fill a second-base vacancy if Marcelo Mayer moves to third; Donovan’s versatility is appealing but his defense at second is below average, and Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner is another option requiring a pitcher and a prospect. Boston hopes to resolve the situation before spring training, while St. Louis isn’t under pressure to trade him, potentially yielding a big return if deals materialize.

Red Sox upgrade rotation with Ranger Suárez after Bregman miss

Boston signed left-hander Ranger Suárez to a five-year, $130 million deal to bolster its rotation after failing to land Alex Bregman. Suárez will slot as a top-of-rotation piece alongside Garrett Crochet, with Sonny Gray and Brayan Bello also in the mix as the Red Sox fill the fifth starter spot from a group that includes Johan Oviedo, Jake Bennett and others. The move signals a shift toward run prevention and depth in Boston’s pitching staff.

Red Sox face late roster puzzle as Opening Day looms

With Alex Bregman off the table, Boston must finish a 71-days-out roster that looks improved in pitching but unsettled in the infield, where Marcello Mayer could fit at second or third. Chaim Bloom and Craig Breslow are weighing options and potential acquisitions (Tucker, Bichette, Suárez, Arenado, Donovan) while spring training, Truck Day, and the WBC shape how many players will be on the roster by Opening Day.
