The reported interest of the San Diego Padres in Jarren Duran may not materialize due to the Boston Red Sox's high asking price and the absence of suitable trade assets from the Padres. While the Sox have not actively marketed Duran, they seek immediate MLB help, particularly in their infield or starting rotation, areas where the Padres do not have depth. They possess a wealth of veteran infielders on long-term deals but lack high-end MLB-ready pitching prospects. Other teams may offer better packages for Duran if he becomes available.
With a crowded outfield mix and uber-prospect Roman Anthony seemingly ready for an MLB look, the Sox aren't turning interested parties away when they inquire about Duran, but there's an understandably high asking price.
The Red Sox are likely to want immediate MLB help at either the infield corners or in the starting rotation, and San Diego is lacking in those areas.
