Boston reportedly views a Jarren Duran trade as "squarely in play" this offseason, per MassLive's Chris Cotillo. Duran hit .207 with a .627 OPS despite a 20-20 year, and the outfield logjam persists. Nothing is done yet. 🔄

Speculation says the Red Sox could pursue Dodgers slugger Teoscar Hernandez, 34 and in the final year of his deal, as a righty-power outfield fix if Jarren Duran is moved. Nothing is agreed. The idea is a trade route, since Arozarena and Suzuki look like long shots. 🎯

Red Sox are reportedly fans of free agent slugger Seiya Suzuki, but a pursuit would likely force outfield changes. He'd fit best in left field, with Wilyer Abreu locked in right, and Jarren Duran or Masataka Yoshida trades could clear the logjam. 🔄

Kristian Campbell spent all of 2026 in the minors (.256/.383/.380, 8 HR), and his path to playing time is crowded by Anthony, Abreu, Rafaela and Mead. The verdict: a platoon outfield role is the best case, and he's still expected to contribute in 2027. 🤔
