Of all the players rumored to be on the trade market, there might not be a surer one to be moved than Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. It’s basic math: The Red Sox don’t have enough at-bats for all of Duran, Wilyer Abreu, Roman Anthony and Masataka Yoshida, doubly so if they add someone like Kyle Schwarber or Pete Alonso in free agency. Duran isn’t so good that he’s untouchable, but he’s good enough that his three remaining years of arbitration figure to have some value around the league.
