Padres Pursue Red Sox's Jarren Duran in Trade Talks

The San Diego Padres remain interested in acquiring Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran as the MLB trade deadline approaches, aiming to strengthen their outfield and postseason chances. While the Red Sox have surged with a 10-game winning streak, their outfield depth and Duran's slightly regressed but still valuable performance make him a potential trade candidate. Boston is reportedly only willing to consider a trade for Duran if offered significant assets, such as controllable starting pitching or strong bullpen help. The Padres have a clear need in left field and are looking for contributors to boost their playoff hopes. Both teams must weigh short-term ambitions against long-term roster planning as the deadline nears. Any potential deal would require the Padres to present a compelling trade package that aligns with the Red Sox’s needs.
