Padres eyeing Red Sox All-Star Jarren Duran as potential trade target
The Padres have eyes on Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. The 28-year-old is is on San Diego's 'list of trade targets' according to The Athletic, as the team looks to bolster its offense, which has struggled to produce consistently. Per the report, the underperforming Red Sox (29-32) 'might consider Duran expendable,' especially with outfielder Roman Anthony — top overall prospect — dominating in Triple-A (.303 average, .922 OPS) and appearing ready for promotion to the big leagues.

AP Boston sits fourth in the AL East standings, 8 ½ games behind the first-place Yankees. The Padres had reportedly shown interest in Duran ahead of the 2024 season.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Sheets had been one of the Padres' most productive hitters to start the year with a team-high 34 RBIs, plus a .267 average and 11 home runs. But the Padres will also have to consider saving trade capital to pick up starting pitching, with starters Yu Darvish and Michael King on the injured list. Advertisement Their front office, headed by president of baseball operations A.J. Preller, will have to choose a direction ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. Duran, a lefty hitter known for his speed on the bases, enjoyed a career year with Boston in 2024, winning All-Star Game MVP and hitting .285 with 75 RBIs and 21 homers. This season, he's hitting .264 with 34 RBIs through 60 games, maintaining his value as an above-average outfielder — even if his stats have taken a dip from last season's breakout campaign.

Sinner eases through as Gasquet bids adieu at French Open
PA Media/DPA Paris World number one Jannik Sinner cruised into the third round of the French Open and ended Richard Gasquet's career for good measure. Veteran Frenchman Gasquet had announced he would retire after his 22nd Roland Garros campaign, and would have needed to pull off a major shock to prolong his last tournament. There was to be no fairy tale in Paris for the 38-year-old, who bowed out with one final flourish of that inimitable one-handed backhand in a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 defeat. Sinner is bidding for the second part of a potential calendar-year grand slam and to become the first Italian men's champion since 1976. But the 23-year-old knew this was Gasquet's day, and said: 'Congrats for everything you have done, an amazing career, but most importantly an amazing person.' Gasquet, a two-time Wimbledon semi-finalist who made his debut on the ATP Tour in 2002, said: 'It's a little strange, because there is no stress tomorrow. 'There is no recovery. There is no training. There is no lawn tennis. So this is the most astonishing thing. I've got my mind just telling me that I've got to recover and rest. 'But I'm very calm about the decision to stop, and I'm very happy to stop today on this court against the number one in the world, the stadium, the court was full. It was good weather. I'm very happy.' Novak Djokovic returned to the scene of some bad memories, having been bumped down to Court Suzanne-Lenglen to face Frenchman Corentin Moutet. It was the court upon which he lost to Dominic Thiem in 2017 and, even more shockingly, against unheralded Italian Marco Cecchinato a year later. But he had no such problems with Moutet - despite needing a medical time-out for a problem with his left foot - in a 6-3 6-2 7-6 (1) victory. There was a surprise in the men's draw when Alex De Minaur, the Australian ninth seed, blew a two-set lead to lose to Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan 2-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. 'I think I lost that one,' said the 26-year-old. 'This is a match I win 99.9% of the time. Today was just the odd occasion that it slipped away.' Third seed Alexander Zverev, last year's runner-up, dropped the first set against Dutchman Jesper De Jong but hit back to win 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. French 14th seed Arthur Fils came through a dramatic four-and-a-half-hour marathon against Spain's Jaime Munar. The 20-year-old needed treatment for a back injury during the third set and could barely move in the fourth, but the painkillers kicked in just in time for him to complete a 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 0-6, 6-4 win. Fils will play Russian Andrey Rublev on Saturday, hoping they will not be scheduled as the night match because the Paris St Germain fan wants to watch the Champions League final. 'I don't know what Rublev will ask. Maybe he'll asked to play the night session just to bother me,' said Fils. Cameron Norrie equalled his best French Open run and set up a third-round battle of Britain after beating Federico Gomez in straight sets. The British number three made hard work of the first set against Argentinian powerhouse Gomez, but eventually cantered over the line 7-6 (7) 6-2 6-1. He will face Edinburgh-born Jacob Fearnley, who before this year had never played a professional match on clay, for a place in round four.
