With Duran, Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Rob Refsnyder, and Masataka Yoshida, the Red Sox have a surplus of major league outfielders, but that logjam has been temporarily alleviated by Rafaela’s move to the infield following an injury to Marcelo Mayer.

The San Diego Padres have reportedly been chasing a trade for Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran for months, but that pursuit has taken a wild turn.

"The Boston Red Sox have no plans to trade outfielder Jarren Duran at the deadline, rejecting the San Diego Padres’ offers, and more likely to move him this winter," Nightengale wrote on Sunday.
