Overview

  • The San Diego Padres have reignited trade talks for Boston outfielder Jarren Duran as they seek offensive reinforcements and a left fielder.
  • Jarren Duran’s production has dipped this season, with his OPS down over 100 points and only four home runs through 60 games.
  • Red Sox general manager Craig Breslow is willing to discuss offers but is not prepared to finalize a deal for Duran before further evaluating his roster.
  • Boston’s top prospect Roman Anthony is batting .303 with a .922 OPS and eight home runs in Triple-A, creating urgency to clear space in the outfield.
  • Any trade for Duran would demand substantial prospect capital from San Diego, potentially including their top-rated prospect Leo De Vries.
