Like, they got Christian Jelic from the Marlins for four prospects in 2018.
Louis Brinson was the biggest name among those prospects, okay?
They got Freddy Peralta as one of three prospects from Seattle for Adam Liend in 2015, you know?
Yeah.
They got William Contreras from the Braves as part of a trade for Estiari Ruiz, who's a fast outfielder.
None of those players that we're talking about are big leaguers of consequence.
And now this Brewers team got Kyle Harrison, who's basically their left-handed ace behind Jacob Mizorowski.
and David Hamilton, and a third guy, pitcher Shane Drohan, who's now up with the big leagues, all in exchange for Caleb Durbin to the Red Sox this past offseason.
Caleb Durbin was like, I think he was a runner-up for Rookie of the Year in the National League, and there was another guy they got from the Yankees in a trade, I believe in the Devin Williams trade, they got Caleb Durbin.
Um, but then they flip him to Boston and Kyle Harrison is like one of the great young pitching stories in the national league.
Just a dominant lefty.
The Brewers are damn, damn good at trades with the force deficiency.
And if you're Chris gets, you're going to have to be good at that too.
Hey, man, you got to find the sucker at the table.
And it looks like Craig Breslow in Boston might have some sucker in him in terms of this stuff.
And yes, would the Red Sox have given you Kyle Harrison for Matt Shaw?
in the offseason.
Sure, they would have done it for Nico Horner, but I wasn't advocating for that.
And what I did report in the offseason, Lawrence, to your point, is that the Red Sox asked about Nico Horner and the Cubs turned the conversation to Matt Shaw.
Boy, if they could have gotten Kyle Harrison, that would be transformative to the starting rotation.
