That Boston Red Sox trade looked like a disaster at first—struggling hitter Caleb Durbin and a solid pitcher Kyle Harrison—but now it’s paying off big. With Harrison sidelined and Durbin turning things around at the plate, the Sox got a surprise gem: Andruw Monasterio. The rookie shortstop exploded onto the scene with a clutch two-run homer in the 10th against the A’s, sealing a 4-2 win. Since July 1, he’s been unstoppable—high OPS, three homers, and a 13-4 record when he’s in the lineup. He’s now the undisputed shortstop, and the Red Sox are winning like crazy. The front office might be tempted to make more moves, but for now, Monasterio and the Sox are playing their hearts out—and proving the trade was a steal.
