The Boston Red Sox, according to Sean McAdam of Masslive.com, "quickly rejected" a trade offer from the San Diego Padres for Jarren Duran.

The Boston Red Sox have a surplus of starting-caliber outfielders and a need in the starting rotation. They could think about trading one of their outfielders for pitching help.

After Mayer’s injury, the Red Sox recalled infielder David Hamilton, and though Hamilton will see some time at second, Rafaela’s offense has been too valuable to the lineup. Playing him at second and Duran in center makes the offense stronger. The moving parts have been a challenge for manager Alex Cora much of the season and even more so now.
