An MLB insider believes Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran may be on his way out as the franchise explores ways to bolster its offense this offseason. The 28-year-old left-handed hitter posted a .285 batting average with 21 home runs and 20 stolen bases during the 2026 season, earning his second All-Star selection.
Despite Duran's production, the Red Sox front office is reportedly evaluating trade scenarios that would address lineup balance and defensive flexibility. Boston finished the 2026 campaign with a 78-84 record, missing the postseason for the third time in four years.
Duran, who is under team control through 2028 via arbitration, has drawn interest from multiple clubs seeking a dynamic leadoff presence. The Red Sox have not publicly commented on specific trade discussions.
