Caleb Durbin's resurgence helps Red Sox after Alex Bregman departure

Caleb Durbin has shown significant improvement for the Boston Red Sox following a slow start to the season. After a subpar beginning, Durbin turned his performance around, posting a.330 batting average with six home runs over his last 28 games. The Red Sox let Alex Bregman sign with the Chicago Cubs, where he is struggling with a.242 average and a heavy contract. While Bregman’s offensive output raises concerns, Durbin’s recent form suggests he may become the replacement the Red Sox anticipated when they made the decision to part ways with Bregman. Both players have displayed solid defensive skills at third base this season.
