Overview
- ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel report Boston will eventually move either Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu rather than keep full-time players in part-time roles.
- The insiders put Duran’s trade likelihood at about 50% and list the Tigers, Royals, Giants, Pirates, Phillies, Mets, Reds and Diamondbacks as possible destinations.
- Duran is characterized as a high-value piece with elite bat and foot speed, top-tier baserunning impact and three remaining years of team control.
- Abreu is presented as the preferable keeper, entering his age-27 season with back-to-back Gold Gloves in right field, strong defensive metrics and four years of club control.
- Reporting underscores a broader outfield logjam featuring Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and others, with outside proposals targeting rotation help or a middle-of-the-order bat via any trade.
