Overview

  • San Diego is actively exploring trading for Boston outfielder Jarren Duran to bolster its sputtering offense.
  • Boston’s 29-32 campaign leaves Duran expendable as top prospect Roman Anthony posts a .303 average and .922 OPS in Triple-A.
  • Injuries to starters Yu Darvish and Michael King have depleted the pitching staff and heightened the need for lineup reinforcement.
  • Duran’s $3.75 million contract through 2028 provides cost-effective outfield versatility and speed at the plate.
  • The Padres must balance using trade capital on outfield help versus potential pitching acquisitions before the July 31 deadline.
