Caleb Durbin can continue the Red Sox value train from the Yankees

"In the 18th round of the 2017 MLB draft the New York Yankees drafted a pitcher out of the University of Alabama named Garret Whitlock. He would almost immediately make his professional debut with the Gulf Coast League Yankees. In 2018, Whitlock would appear in three levels for New York: A, A+, and AA. Overall he'd post a 1.86 ERA across the three levels while making 21 starts."

"When it came time to protect their prospects from the Rule 5 draft, the Yankees looked at Whitlock and saw 2019 success, a lost season, and an injury. They didn't protect him and the Red Sox selected Whitlock on December 10, 2020. Whitlock would go on to strike out 81 in 73.1 innings in 2021 for Boston while posting a 1.96 ERA."

"Carlos Narváez was signed out of Venezuela in 2015. He would make his professional debut the next year and spend a few seasons as a teenager, working his way through the lowest levels of the minor leagues. He wouldn't make it to AA until 2023 as a 24-year-old, but his stay would be brief, just 16 games. Promoted once more to AAA, Narváez would remain with Scranton Wilkes-Barre for 180 games. He'd hit .247/.371/.400 but be looked at as a defense-first catcher."

Garret Whitlock was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 18th round of the 2017 MLB draft out of the University of Alabama and debuted with the Gulf Coast League Yankees. He advanced through three minor-league levels in 2018, posting a 1.86 ERA across 21 starts, and reached AA in 2019 before undergoing Tommy John surgery midseason. The Yankees left him unprotected in the Rule 5 process and the Red Sox selected him on December 10, 2020; Whitlock posted a 1.96 ERA with 81 strikeouts in 73.1 innings in 2021 and produced an elite 2025 setup season. Carlos Narváez signed from Venezuela in 2015, climbed slowly through the minors, spent extended time in AAA with Scranton Wilkes-Barre, hit .247/.371/.400, and earned a brief six-game MLB cup of coffee in 2024 while being viewed primarily as a defense-first catcher.
