The centerpiece coming back to the Red Sox in the deal that sent Harrison to Milwaukee was Caleb Durbin. Durbin had a strong rookie year with the Brewers, but is off to a slow start with the Red Sox. He is hitting .169 with a .530 OPS. However, he does seem to be heating up. Durbin still has plenty of time to get on track, just like Harrison has time to decline. However, right now, it looks like the Red Sox were better off hanging on to him.
The Brewers have been known to develop pitching well, so it may not be a huge surprise that Harrison is thriving. However, it is a shock to see just how dominant he has been. The Red Sox would have loved to keep him around, but given that they have and , who have both looked great this year, they are likely not beating themselves up too badly.
