Phillies, Tigers Among Teams in Talks for Outfielder Jarren Duran

His control through 2028 has driven high trade interest among contenders.

Overview

  • The Red Sox are not actively shopping Duran but are listening to offers from the Phillies, Tigers and Padres ahead of the July 31 deadline.
  • Potential packages floated include Duran and closer Aroldis Chapman in exchange for top prospect Andrew Painter and catcher Eduardo Tait from Philadelphia.
  • A speculative proposal would send Duran to Detroit for right-hander Jackson Jobe and shortstop Bryce Rainer to boost the Tigers’ outfield speed and defense.
  • Duran is batting .273 this season with a league-leading six triples and remains under club control through 2028, projecting a $123 million market value.
  • Boston’s front office values Duran’s on-field production and low contract cost as a key asset in reshaping the roster before the deadline.
