On the morning after Super Bowl 60 wrapped up the NFL season, the MLB season can now take center stage, and the Milwaukee Brewers and Boston Red Sox kicked it off with a trade.

The Brewers sent third baseman Caleb Durbin to the Red Sox in exchange for left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, according to ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan. Also going from the Red Sox to the Brewers are infielder David Hamilton and left-handed pitcher Shane Drohan.

After Passan's initial report, MLB.com had even more trade details. So, let's break this down a bit more. The Brewers' pickups from Boston remain correct; the Red Sox, besides Durbin, receive from Milwaukee infielders Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler, and a Competitive Balance Round B Draft pick.

Boston has been in the market for a third baseman ever since Alex Bregman left the ballclub for a bigger contract with the Chicago Cubs.

Durbin will fill that spot left open by Bregman's departure. It's tough to see Durbin go as he helped the Brewers reach the National League Championship Series last season.

Harrison has been in the majors for three seasons, starting with the San Francisco Giants before joining the Red Sox last season. Career-wise, Harrison is 9-9 with a 4.39 ERA.

According to Harrison's profile on Baseball Savant, he has five pitches that make up his arsenal on the mound: A four-seam fastball, a slurve (a mixture of a slider and curveball), a cutter, a sinker, and a changeup. He used his slurve a bit more last season than his previous two seasons, while his changeup usage dipped a bit.

Hamilton has played in parts of the past three seasons with Boston, putting together a slash line of .198/.333/.590.

Drohan has been part of the Red Sox's minor-league system. Last season, Drohan was 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA. He finished last season playing for Worchester, Mass., which is the Triple-A franchise for Boston.

What will this trade do to help the Brewers? It gives them another arm for their pitching staff. How Hamilton and Drohan fit into the picture remains to be seen.

But Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold isn't going to make a trade that doesn't have some value in return for his ballclub.

He's going to have his attention this week on watching pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. The Brewers' first Spring Training game is just around the corner, too.

Still, Harrison's addition will have to fit into the team's pitching plans in some way. Whether he starts with the big-league club or maybe gets moved down to the Triple-A club is something that might happen.

The Brewers are trying to fortify a pitching staff that will enter this season without Freddy Peralta, who was traded away. 

How will Brewers manager Pat Murphy move forward with Harrison? That's another question for Murphy to answer as Spring Training rolls along.
