Considering that it required another part of the Rafael Devers trade tree that appears dead in the water at this point, it's fair to feel like the Boston Red Sox still have yet to properly address the way they've mismanaged the hot corner situation over the last 12 months.
But make no mistake about it: Caleb Durbin is the real deal. The trade with the Milwaukee Brewers — which also netted the Sox Andruw Monasterio, Anthony Seigler, and a top-75 draft pick — was a brilliant feat of roster maneuvering by the front office, moving off a few superfluous pieces in exchange for tons of team control and versatility.
