After trading Rafael Devers, the Red Sox have regained playoff contention, winning seven consecutive games to achieve a 50-45 record. Several players are still rumored in trade talks, particularly outfielders like Jarren Duran, who has three-and-a-half years of control left. Masataka Yoshida has returned from injury, enhancing an already strong outfield featuring prospects Roman Anthony and Ceddanne Rafaela, who are both performing well. Duran stands out as a potential trade candidate that could significantly benefit various teams in need of impactful players.
The Red Sox have fought their way back into playoff contention after their shocking trade of franchise face Rafael Devers last month. Boston has rattled off a seven-game win streak to put themselves at a 50-45 record entering play today.
Masataka Yoshida returned to the Red Sox yesterday after missing the first half of the season while rehabbing his surgically repaired shoulder, and with his return comes an embarrassment of riches in the Red Sox outfield.
It's Duran who's gotten the most attention as a trade candidate of that group, and he's certainly attractive. He's just one year removed from a top-ten finish in AL MVP voting.
Duran's 2025 season (105 wRC+) has left something to be desired, but it's easy for teams to dream on that upside given his three-and-a-half years of team control remaining.
