Duran is a good player with a lot of trade value because he\u2019s under team control through 2028, but if the infielders don\u2019t start hitting, the Red Sox will have to consider a roster realignment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still too early to be thinking about trades, but Boston may want to consider trading one of their outfielders for some much-needed infield help.<\/p>\n<h2>Red Sox Trade Idea Swaps Jarren Duran for Phillies\u2019 Alec Bohm<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5919186\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg 4732w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=782,521 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=780,520 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=425,283 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=254,169 254w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=270,180 270w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=225,150 225w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2269152799_e9f0ee.jpg?resize=242,161 242w\" alt=\"Red Sox-Phillies Trade Prediction Swaps Jarren Duran for All-Star Infielder\" width=\"782\" height=\"521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5919186\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5919186\">GettyHOUSTON, TEXAS \u2013 MARCH 30: Jarren Duran #16 of the Boston Red Sox during the XXX inning of the game against the XXX at Daikin Park on March 30, 2026 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Kenneth Richmond\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Per Heavy on Sports, this hypothetical trade idea would swap Phillies\u2019 Alec Bohm and outfielder Jarren Duran in a blockbuster mid-season trade, which, if you follow the Red Sox, is not an uncommon thing to happen (Rafael Devers trade last May).<\/p>\n<p>Shoenfield also notes that Alec Bohm could be a top trade candidate for the Phillies this summer:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another situation with some moving parts. Bohm has been the Phillies\u2019 third baseman since 2020, but he\u2019s heading into free agency and is off to a slow start. (He\u2019s also in an ongoing lawsuit against his parents alleging that they mismanaged his finances, as well as fired his agent, Scott Boras.) Meanwhile, top prospect Aidan Miller is waiting in the wings, except he hasn\u2019t played in the minors because of a back injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This trade idea would, at least marginally, help the Red Sox infielder while offloading Jarren Duran while he\u2019s struggling. Both Duran and Bohm are struggling to start this season, which makes this a fair value. If anything, the Phillies could throw in a mid-tier prospect to help complete a deal for Duran.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Does this Trade Idea Benefit?<\/h2>\n<p>Honestly, this hypothetical trade idea benefits the Philadelphia Phillies a little bit more than the Red Sox, just because Duran has more extra-base hit upside, as Alec Bohm isn\u2019t much of a power hitter, and if he doesn\u2019t hit for a high batting average (which he isn\u2019t this season) than his value is decreased.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Red Sox\u2019s infield is so unproductive right now that adding anyone might be an upgrade, and Bohm is a former All-Star at least.<\/p>\n<p>Another aspect of this trade that would benefit the Phillies is the fact that Duran is controllable for a few more years, whereas Alec Bohm is set to hit free agency after season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty HOUSTON, TEXAS &#8211;
