Jarren Duran has long been the subject of trade speculation. Throughout 2024, his breakout performance netted huge praise and plenty of trade rumors. It didn’t help that the San Diego Padres have apparently shown plenty of interest in the lightning fast outfielder.
Rumors of his departure from the Boston Red Sox have continued in 2025 and remain a big talking point as the offseason gets underway. Coupled with the logjam in the Boston's outfield, it has seemed that Duran might be the odd man out, allowing the team’s leadership group to leverage his talents as part of a package to bring in new pitching depth.
