The Boston Red Sox should be looking to shake up their roster a bit this offseason.
After being swept by the New York Yankees in the AL Wild Card series, it would not be surprising if the Red Sox's roster looks different at the start of the 2027 season. They should not only be looking to bring in new talent but also be open to trading some of their current players.
Because of this, one of their notable outfielders is creating a lot of chatter as a trade candidate during the early days of the offseason.

According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, other MLB teams are expecting that the Red Sox will finally deal All-Star outfielder Jarren Duran this offseason after many months of trade rumors.
...
"Rival teams say they would be stunned if the Boston Red Sox don’t trade Jarren Duran this winter after hitting a career-low .207 with a .266 on-base percentage and .361 slugging percentage. If they move Duran, it could put them in line for free-agent outfielder Randy Arozarena," Nightengale wrote.
Hearing that MLB teams are expecting Duran to be traded by the Red Sox is not too difficult to understand. Questions about his future in Boston have come up for a long time now, and he had a down year in 2026. Due to this, it would make sense for both sides to move on.
Duran appeared in 151 games this season with the Red Sox, where he had 20 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 69 RBI, and a .207 batting average. Overall, he had a tough season by his standards, but his resume indicates that he could bounce back. Just back in 2024 with Boston as an All-Star, he had 14 triples, 21 home runs, 48 doubles, 75 RBI, and a .285 batting average. With this, he could generate a good amount of interest as a buy-low target.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if the Red Sox end up moving Duran from here.
