Jarren Duran Reacts to Big Red Sox Extension News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The expectations entering the 2025 season weren't all too high for the Boston Red Sox, but they've certainly impressed, sporting a 64-51 record, which puts them in second place in the AL East behind the Toronto Blue Jays.

"Jarren Duran is an interesting case. He turns 29 in September and can't become a free agent until after the 2028 season. He's also a player whose game is built around speed," Abraham wrote. "Projecting what kind of player Duran will be when he's 32 or 33 is difficult."

It’s not surprising that Duran, a left-handed hitter, has been mentioned in trade rumors. Boston has a surplus of left-handed hitting outfielders. The Red Sox could look to trade one of their left-handed bats to shore up another area of need on the roster like starting pitching.
