The Boston Red Sox are exploring options as the trade deadline approaches, including rumors related to Jarren Duran, though trading him seems unlikely unless offers are substantial. Duran is an above-average hitter with speed and center field capability, under team control until 2028, making him valuable for potential roster building. The New York Mets may consider acquiring him, as they are positioned to contend for a World Series. Duran has been an essential part of the Red Sox's recent success, adding to their winning streak.
There's little reason for Boston to even entertain offers for Duran unless the return is substantial. His production has predictably fallen short of his 2024 breakout, but Duran remains a solidly above-average hitter with lots of speed and the ability to play center field.
The Padres have already been linked to Duran and surely they won't be alone. The Mets are in a much better position than the Red Sox right now, and the expectation around the league is for New York to be a buyer.
