Red Sox Looking to Make Early Deadline Move After Jarren Duran Trade Rumors
Red Sox Looking to Make Early Deadline Move After Jarren Duran Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rumors have now surfaced that the San Diego Padres are interested in trading for Jarren Duran. What the Boston Red Sox do over the next two months will likely determine how they move at the trade deadline, but there are many ways this organization could go. Advertisement And according to The Athletic, there's a chance that an early trade deadline move could be the outcome. The Athletics' Jen McCaffrey noted that an early trade deadline move could rejuvenate the team, putting less pressure on Craig Breslow, as some of his moves have clearly not worked out as the organization had hoped. 'For as good as the Red Sox and their fan base felt in spring training, the optimism that the team will contend is questionable at best as the calendar has flipped to June. Perhaps early trade deadline moves can rejuvenate the team and help Breslow reconfigure what has turned into a disappointing mess of a season so far,' she wrote. Boston Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran (16) runs off of the field after scoring a run against the Tampa Bay Rays during the sixth inning at Fenway Fluharty-Imagn Images The last thing the Red Sox want to do is to make a trade just for the sake of making a trade. They sit at 29-32 and are already 8.5 games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the American League East. Advertisement If there's a player available they love, and they wouldn't have to give up much to land said player, exploring that option should be on the table. However, if they just make a trade to make a trade, there's a very good chance it'll go south. At the very least, it seems that Boston is willing to do what it takes to try to win. If the front office wants to make a move, it looks like it's certainly a possibility at this stage.
