Although the Red Sox could use an upgrade at second base, Boston isn\u2019t considering moving Duran to second, according to The Athletic\u2019s Jen McCaffrey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got a few questions about this possibility, but to my knowledge, it\u2019s not something the Red Sox are considering,\u201d McCaffrey wrote about a possible Duran move to second base, in a piece published on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuran came up through the minors as a second baseman, and in theory, it makes sense as a solution to the team\u2019s problems. But given he\u2019s never taken infield reps in the majors, I think it could worsen the team\u2019s infield defense rather than help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Red Sox not expected to move Duran to second, Boston still has options at the position. The Red Sox primarily used Kristian Campbell, David Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez at second base last season.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Red Sox have an $8 million team option on Duran, which they will need to decide on next week. Duran is projected to make 8.4 million in arbitration if Boston declines the club option, according to MLB Trade Rumors.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Duran hit .256 wth 16 home runs and 84 RBIs last season with the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox could make an intriguing move involving Jarren Duran, but the team isn&#8217;t considering it, according to an insider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":115689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-115688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
