Overview

  • Jim Bowden reported Duran as one of the offseason’s most likely trade candidates, pointing to Boston’s crowded outfield of Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela and Roman Anthony.
  • The Dodgers are singled out as a compelling fit, with the Phillies, Tigers, Guardians and Rangers also mentioned; separate reports continue to link the Padres after prior interest.
  • After a breakout 2024, Duran’s 2025 line dipped to .256/.332/.442, yet he still logged 16 home runs, 41 doubles, an AL-leading 13 triples and 24 steals.
  • Duran remains under team control through 2028 and is projected to earn about $8 million in 2026, boosting his market value and the likely asking price.
  • Coverage suggests Boston would target starting pitching—potentially a No. 2 behind Garrett Crochet—with names like Hunter Greene and Sandy Alcantara floated, and no trade has been announced.
