Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Boston Red Sox don&#8217;t appear to be in a rush.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Whether they trade Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu this offseason out of their outfield surplus appears to still be an open question as the rumor mill spins on.<\/p>\n<p>But eventually, it&#8217;ll come to a head. That&#8217;s what ESPN&#8217;s Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel wrote in a new article on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At some point, though, the Red Sox will have to move Duran or\u00a0Wilyer Abreu,&#8221; the ESPN duo writes.\u00a0&#8220;Keeping full-time-quality players for less than full-time roles rarely works out well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Famous rapper Toosii commits to play college football in the ACC<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, Passan and McDaniel give a 50% chance that the Red Sox trade Duran this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>They list the Tigers, Royals, Giants, Pirates, Phillies, Mets, Reds and Diamondbacks all as possible landing spots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Duran has elite bat speed and foot speed, along with a good arm, so his physical tools can lead to a return to something like his star performance from 2024,&#8221; Passan and McDaniel write. &#8220;His foot speed pays off in elite baserunning value, ranking third in baseball over the past three seasons combined at +23 runs. His true talent level seems quite close to his 2025 production, which is still one of the top 35 position players in the sport. Duran has a ton of trade value because he&#8217;s still in his 20s and has three years of control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Adam Schefter blasted for framing of latest Shedeur Sanders news<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Duran was a superstar. In 2025, he was just very good.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>If the Red Sox are seeking a trade return for the 2024 version, it could take longer to get a deal done, too.<\/p>\n<p>They aren&#8217;t in a rush, but they&#8217;ll have to make something happen eventually to redistribute their talent in a way that works out a bit better for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2>More news:<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston will have to figure this out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":127779,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2369,1591,1499,666,4739,651,184,114,1532,4740,198],"class_list":["post-127778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-diamondbacks","tag-espn","tag-jarren-duran","tag-jeff-passan","tag-kiley-mcdaniel","tag-mets","tag-phillies","tag-red-sox","tag-shedeur-sanders","tag-trade-value","tag-wilyer-abreu"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
