"The Red Sox, even after acquiring Caleb Durbin from Milwaukee, still look like the best fit for Paredes - they could play him at third and Durbin at second without needing to rely on Marcelo Mayer. A deal constructed around Jarren Duran should remain within reach. By moving Duran, the Red Sox would create DH at-bats for Masataka Yoshida and eventually Triston Casas, who could return in May from a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee."
The Boston Red Sox acquired Caleb Durbin from Milwaukee to fill their third base position, seemingly settling their infield needs. However, the Astros continue searching for a roster spot for talented third baseman Isaac Paredes. MLB writer Ken Rosenthal identifies the Red Sox as an ideal trade partner, suggesting Boston could position Paredes at third base and Durbin at second base. Duran could be the centerpiece in such a deal, allowing the Red Sox to create designated hitter at-bats for Masataka Yoshida and eventually Triston Casas upon his return from injury. Despite this logical fit, the Red Sox and Astros have not engaged in recent trade discussions since Boston's Durbin acquisition.
