The San Diego Padres would love to make a deal for the Red Sox outfielder. But they don't seem to represent a good fit.

Duran is the perfect addition because he extends the lineup and provides matchup troubles for opposing managers. Adding another productive stick creates a more balanced lineup that eliminates the use of lefty-righty relievers to neutralize the batting order late in close games.

The Boston Red Sox currently have a 29-33 record which has already triggered some wild trade buzz. Boston outfielder Jarren Duran made headlines on Monday as Dennis Lin of The Athletic reported that the San Diego Padres are interested in him if he becomes available on the trade market.
