A name that continues to be mentioned as a fit for the Padres is Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. ESPN’s Jeff Passan connected the 28-year-old to San Diego. “No player and team have been linked as strongly as Duran and the Padres,” Passan said. “And that's without any knowledge of how the Red Sox intend to handle the deadline.”

A year ago at this time, Jarren Duran was getting ready to head to the MLB All-Star Game, where he took home MVP honors. This year, the Red Sox outfielder continues to hear his name mentioned in trade rumors.

The Red Sox could be sellers at the MLB trade deadline, and the connection between Jarren Duran and the Padres remains strong.
