Harrison is a player who can fill in at multiple position, hit for a decent average with a little pop and provide some speed on the base paths. He is also a two-time All-Star, making his second team this season. That’s the type of player that any contending squad would benefit from adding. As the MLB trade deadline looms and the Pirates face the hard reality that they have to look past this season, Harrison’s name has cropped up in trade rumors. The Red Sox, who have a massive crater left at third base left by Pablo Sandoval and his disaster of a contract, are in the market for a third baseman.
