When the Red Sox released their roster for Instructs down in Florida, it was a bit of a surprise when Jarren Duran was not on the list. The thought was that maybe he’d played enough this summer and they wanted looks at others. As it turns out, he’ll be playing in Puerto Rico instead. (Christopher Smith; Masslive)
Speaking of Duran, it won’t come as a shock to anyone that the outfielder is on John Tomase’s list of the top ten prospects in the system. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)
It is no secret that Boston needs to find some pitching help this weekend.
