The Boston Red Sox enjoyed a surprising turnaround this year after trading away franchise slugger Rafael Devers, reaching the playoffs for the first time in four years.<\/p>\n

But after a first-round loss to the rival New York Yankees, the Red Sox might be wondering what other moves they could have made to improve the roster.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, the Red Sox seemed to be on the cusp of trading away outfielder Jarren Duran, as they faced a logjam in the outfield position and other teams valued his contract controllability. But ultimately, the Red Sox hung onto him, and could now be regretting it.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Red Sox blew two great chances to trade Jarren Duran when his value was sky high,\u201d according to The Boston Globe\u2019s Dan Shaughnessy. \u201cThey hurt themselves by waiting too long on Duran.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaughnessy noted that the Red Sox could have commanded \u201ca bundle\u201d for Duran had they traded him after last year\u2019s breakout season and that this past trade deadline was another good chance to sell high on him. Now, though, he\u2019s coming off of a harsh postseason that could reduce his potential trade value.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Red Sox are still facing a crowded outfield, with Duran, Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu all set to compete for time next year. As a result, the team might still seek a trade of Duran, though he won\u2019t command the same kind of return that he would have last winter.<\/p>\n

“Jarren Duran did not come close to replicating his 8.7 WAR breakout performance from 2024,\u201d Joe Reuter wrote for Bleacher Report. \u201cHowever, the Red Sox will enter the 2026 season with an abundance of outfielders … and after a summer of trade rumblings Duran could again be one of the most talked about players on the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Sox might regret holding onto Duran for this long, but that doesn\u2019t mean they wouldn\u2019t entertain a lesser offer for their surplus outfielder this winter.<\/p>\n
