“I also feel like he is a good fit for our park given the profile of hitting the ball in the air to the pull side. I think there was a 20% air-pull metric last year. I feel like that will play well at Fenway [Park].”
Durbin, 25, batted .256 with 11 home runs, 25 doubles, 53 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases across 136 games in his rookie season. The third baseman was originally selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 14th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, traded to the New York Yankees in 2022, and then sent to the Brewers in 2024 as part of the deal that brought pitcher Devin Williams to New York.
Monasterio, 28, hit .270 with four home runs, 16 RBIs, and two stolen bases in 68 games last season for Milwaukee and is arbitration-eligible in 2027.
Seigler, 26, batted .194 in 34 appearances last season. Over 451 career minor league games, he hit .230 with 37 home runs and 199 RBIs. Originally the No. 23 overall pick by the Yankees in the 2018 MLB Draft, he joined the Brewers as a free agent in 2024.
Harrison, 24, posted a 1-1 record with a career-best 4.04 ERA across 11 appearances last season, split between the Giants and Red Sox. He was originally a third-round pick by San Francisco in the 2020 MLB Draft, a pick later traded to Boston in June as part of the deal that sent Rafael Devers to the Giants.
Harrison went 7-7 with a 4.56 ERA over 24 starts in 2024 for the Giants. He went 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA over seven starts in 2023. Harrison is eligible for arbitration in 2028.
Drohan, a fifth-round pick by the Red Sox in 2020, went 5-2 with a 3.17 ERA over 15 minor league appearances last season. The 27-year-old, who has yet to make his big league debut, went 31-21 with a 4.29 ERA over the first 104 minor league appearances of his career.
Hamilton, 28, hit .198 with six home runs, 19 RBIs and 22 stolen bases over 91 appearances last season for the Red Sox.

Hamilton is eligible for arbitration in 2027.
“Obviously, this was a big trade for us and something that we’ve looked at for a while,” Brewers president of baseball operations and general manager Matt Arnold said.
“When you tie this to a deal like Freddy Peralta’s that we made recently, our ability to add multiple arms — young arms and controllable arms — is something that’s really exciting for us.”
