As the MLB trade deadline looms, few names generate as much intrigue as Boston’s Jarren Duran. After a breakout 2024 campaign that saw him post a 6.7 WAR, seventh-best in the majors, Duran established himself as one of baseball’s most dynamic outfielders. While some of that production was buoyed by favorable luck, Duran’s 2025 has been a tale of regression and misfortune: his underlying metrics suggest a player better than his current pace of roughly 2 WAR, yet not quite the superstar of last season. For teams with playoff aspirations and a need for speed, defense, and left-handed pop, Duran is a tantalizing target.
