Perhaps the biggest news, at least in relation to Harrison’s future, had nothing to do with the Pirates and their 11-3 loss to the Giants on Tuesday night. Well, that’s not exactly true, as the Giants played into it. The Red Sox, who were one of the primary teams attached to trade rumors for Harrison due to his ability to play third base, made a trade with the Giants, sending two minor league pitchers in exchange for Eduardo Nunez.
What does that have to do with Harrison? Well, the fact that Boston has made a deal for an infielder means the market for Harrison’s services has shrunk as the MLB trade deadline approaches.
