Red Sox Trade Idea Sends Jarren Duran to Guardians for Emmanuel Clase originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox, if they are buyers at the MLB trade deadline, will be looking to add pitching help. With holes in the rotation and the bullpen, the Red Sox could target either position group.

In what could be an important trade deadline move, the Red Sox would bring in a switch-hitting first base veteran for low cost.

Boston Red Sox left fielder Jarren Duran (16) hits an RBI double during the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies at Fenway Park. Chapman could also be on the move, even if the Red Sox decide to buy. They could use him to land help elsewhere on the roster, and land Clase to replace him in the long term.
