"MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince proposed a " ridiculous " three-team trade for the Dodgers, which would see them bring another one-time All-Star to LA. The Dodgers would acquire outfielder Jarren Duran from the Boston Red Sox, who would receive All-Star starting pitcher Joe Ryan from the Minnesota Twins. For their trouble, the Twins would get Dodgers No. 2 prospects Zhyir Hope, No. 6 prospect Jackson Ferris, No. 18 prospect Chase Harlan and Red Sox No. 11 prospect Marcus Phillips."
"After winning the 2024 All-Star Game MVP in 2024, Duran's numbers slightly regressed in 2025. That being said, he still had a solid year in the outfield and played a huge role in the Red Sox making the postseason in 2025. Duran led the American League in triples for the second year running while slashing .256/.332/.442, and recorded 16 home runs and 84 RBIs throughout the season."
"While a solid player all around, the Red Sox have unbelievable depth in the outfield with Wilyer Abreu, Roman Anthony and Cedanne Rafaela also commanding playing time. With their overabundance of outfielders, the Red Sox could move on from Duran, the oldest, who seems to be the odd one out. Duran is still under club control through 2028, so the Dodgers would get plenty of time out of the All-Star."
Michael Conforto became a free agent after a poor 2025, leaving the Dodgers short an outfielder for 2026. A proposed three-team trade would send Jarren Duran to Los Angeles, Joe Ryan to Boston, and a package of prospects to Minnesota. Duran produced a solid 2025 season, leading the American League in triples, slashing .256/.332/.442, and totaling 16 home runs and 84 RBIs while helping Boston reach the postseason. Boston possesses deep outfield depth, making Duran a tradable piece despite being under club control through 2028. The Dodgers retain the option to pursue free-agent alternatives before committing to such a trade.
