The Milwaukee Brewers didn’t just trade Caleb Durbin to the Boston Red Sox on Monday.

They actually traded all three of the guys who had seemingly any chance of getting at bats at third base for Milwaukee in 2026. Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler were in the deal, too.

So what now?

The Brewers might have another trade lined up. They’ve been active in that regard this offseason, so don’t count out another deal.

But if they don’t make any more trades, then something has to give.

Joey Ortiz can play third base, but his best value comes as a top-notch defender at shortstop. It’s not logical to take his glove off that spot to a position where his weak bat won’t be worthwhile enough.

Brice Turang is the second baseman, and he could probably play third, but he has been reliable at second.

The Brewers got David Hamilton back from the Red Sox along with lefty pitcher Kyle Harrison. It might be Hamilton at third by default, but he’s not particularly inspiring either.

Recently acquired prospect Jett Williams is more of an up-the-middle guy, either middle infield or centerfield. But maybe he can factor into the equation, probably not on Opening Day but partway through the campaign?

This really leaves more questions than answers, and it’s worth waiting to see if the Brewers do anything else.

If no other moves come, then watch what Milwaukee does early in the spring. Eventually, a hint will come, even if the outcome doesn’t seem obvious yet.
