He fills a need at the position after Alex Bregman’s departure via free agency. Prior to the move, Marcelo Mayer, a heralded prospect plagued by injuries, had been projected to start at third base.

Harrison, 24, had a 4.04 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings for Boston and San Francisco last season.
