The Boston Red Sox and Jarren Duran agreed to a one-year, $7.7 million deal Tuesday, according to a league source, avoiding what could have been a messy arbitration process.<\/p>\n

The contract includes $75,000 in performance bonuses, per the source, with $25,000 each for 450, 500 and 550 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

The deal is noteworthy because of a decision looming on Thursday about Duran\u2019s contract status. Last offseason, the Red Sox narrowly avoided arbitration with Duran by agreeing to a one-year, $3.85 million deal with a club option of $8 million for 2026.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox needed to make a decision on the $8 million option by Thursday, and if they had declined, the club would have gone to arbitration with Duran and argued for a lesser salary based on his 2025 season, which was solid but less productive than his 2024 season.<\/p>\n

That Duran and his agent agreed to a $7.7 million figure on Tuesday suggests they felt the Red Sox might win an eventual arbitration hearing.<\/p>\n

Despite the deal, the Red Sox can still trade Duran this winter.<\/p>\n

Duran, 29, is under team control through 2028, but his name has surfaced frequently as a potential player to trade this winter, given the team\u2019s crowded outfield. After a breakout 2024, in which he posted a .285 average and .834 OPS in 160 games (735 PA), Duran hit .256 with a .774 OPS in 157 games (696 PA) in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
