Caleb Durbin is on fire 🔥🔥 This is a great external cue we’ve been using with Durbin to help him stay inside the baseball, clean up his direction, and consistently get the barrel to the ball. The results are speaking for themselves. Durbin in June: ⚾ .328 BA 💣...

Caleb Durbin immediately jumps off the page as yet another breakout candidate acquired by Boston this offseason. On the surface, Durbin's production isn't necessarily eye-popping. As a rookie in '25: ⚾️ .721 OPS ⚾️ 6% BB / 10% K ⚾️ .312 xwOBA ⚾️ 105 wRC+ ⚾️ 2.6 fWAR So, what stands out regarding Durbin? I. Elite Swing Decisions & Whiff-Ability. Facing major league pitching for the first time in his career, Durbin registered the 5th-best K% (10%) in MLB last year. His 94% zCon rate (T-5th in MLB) is also elite. Durbin's whiff% and chase% also ranked inside the 95th percentile (or better). We're talking about a bat with some similar contact traits like we see in Jacob Wilson, for example, but with far less chase and a bit more pullside thump. He squares up the ball well (33% — 95th PCTL) and pairs that ability with taking a steady amount of walks. Point blank, the 25-year-old is a demon at limiting whiff. II. Power Surge? It's All in the Pull Air%. A gigantic reason it's so easy to pencil Durbin in as a breakout candidate is his fantastic park fit at Fenway. As a rookie, Durbin turned in an above-average 41% pull rate, plus an even-better 20% pull air rate. Utilizing that approach with a big target in left field will work wonders for his OPS. I don't expect Durbin to mash 20+ HR out of nowhere, but I'd certainly bank on seeing a number of flyouts simply turn into doubles or homers at home. III. Quality Defense. Breslow talked a lot about upgrading defense, and this move certainly does that. I've been very vocal since the start of the offseason that Mayer at 2B, not 3B, would be my preference for a multitude of reasons. Durbin (who can play all over the infield), enters the building as a plus defender at 3B. As a rookie, Durbin turned in 2 OAA, 5 DRS, 5 rPM, and 1 FRV at the hot corner. Sliding Mayer over to second base allows for easier platoon management with Romy Gonzalez — who saw an increase in his defensive production at 2B a year ago — and yes, is an upgrade over Alex Bregman's 1 DRS in 2025. IV. Handling Velo. Something that shouldn't get overlooked is Durbin's ability to handle velocity — a department the Red Sox obviously needed to upgrade in after last season. In '25 vs. FA-types 94+ mph: ⚾️ .258 BA → .275 xBA ⚾️ .350 SLG → .375 xSLG ⚾️ .319 wOBA → .337 xwOBA ⚾️ 8% whiff rate — — — Overall, I'm really ecstatic about the Durbin acquisition. This is FAR better than signing Suarez and calling it a day, imo. Can't forget Durbin is a guy the Red Sox have under team control for a while now (2032 UFA!). Utilizing Harrison — who's name has been yanked around between trade talks or a move to the bullpen — is a great piece of business. The comp pick is also massive, but we'll talk more about that soon. I think at his best, Durbin could lead off for the Red Sox by the end of '26. A legit breakout candidate and bag stealing threat with a high floor thanks to limited swing-and-miss and good defense. Really looking forward to see him more in camp.

NEW: 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 ‼️SENATOR DICK DURBIN, THE RANKING Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 MEMBER AND HIS FAMILY WRITE “SCRIPTS” FOR DEMOCRAT ACTORS TO PROTEST PRESIDENT TRUMP’S NOMINEES OVERSEEN BY THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE‼️ I have just discovered that Senator Dick Durbin Senator Dick Durbin, a ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is funneling pre written scripts regarding the Senate confirmation hearings to his daughter Jen Durbin. Durbin, via his daughter, is encouraging people to contact Republican Senators U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Senator Todd Young, and Sen. Susan Collins as ALLIES who oppose Trump’s nominees. The scripts tell callers exactly what to say as if they are robots who can’t speak for themselves. The title literally says “HERE IS YOUR SCRIPT!” I highlighted it in red below. 👇🏻 Scripts are given to ACTORS. Jen Durbin operates a PRODUCTION STUDIO in Brooklyn, New York. In other words, the people using these talking points are ACTORS, not genuine concerned citizens, to create the illusion of mass opposition to Trump’s nominees as Senate Democrats have POP UP PROTESTS all over DC. These scripts have been posted to Jen Durbin’s personal social media account to create the illusion that voters have concerns about President Trump’s nominees, when in reality, the Senator is making a script with talking points, and he is using his own family to distribute scripts to the public to create the illusion of organic political organizing. The Democrats are planting their own propaganda and pretending like it’s organically coming from the Democrat base. They aren’t even hiding the fact that these are SCRIPTS.
