Padres Eye Jarren Duran Trade | MLB News

The Padres are eyeing Jarren Duran as a buy-low target before the trade deadline—despite a disappointing 2024 season, his speed and bat speed still make him a potential rebound candidate. His struggles against off-speed pitches have dropped his average against breaking balls to .156, down from .252 last year. San Diego could use left-handed power in the outfield, and Boston might be willing to move him for less, especially if they’re looking to sell. There’s also buzz about trading Aroldis Chapman, which could open the door for a bigger deal—possibly involving top prospect Kash Mayfield, San Diego’s fourth-best arm. It’s a risky gamble, but Duran’s past All-Star flashes make him worth the shot—and Boston could be the perfect trade partner to help fill multiple Padres needs.
