The Boston Red Sox face a roster logjam that may necessitate trading an impact player for flexibility. With recent additions like Masataka Yoshida expected to play DH, at least one of Jarren Duran, Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, or Wilyer Abreu will frequently sit. Duran, an established All-Star, could be the odd man out, especially given interest from the San Diego Padres. Despite a rocky season, Duran is performing well in July, driving in 11 runs in eight games and is under team control through 2028, enhancing his trade value.
"A Duran-Jackson Merrill-Fernando Tatis Jr. outfield would be a factory of dynamism that would be under team control through the end of the 2028 season."
"No player and team have been linked as strongly as Duran and the Padres - and that's without any knowledge of how the Red Sox intend to handle the deadline."
