Red Sox Trade Idea Sends Jarren Duran to Giants for Insane Haul of Prospects
Red Sox Trade Idea Sends Jarren Duran to Giants for Insane Haul of Prospects originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Amid a five-game losing streak, the Boston Red Sox's playoff hopes have taken a hit. While there is still a month before the trade deadline, and their trajectory can change on a week-to-week basis, the focus is turning to what direction Boston will take. Are they going to go all-in on the current roster or continue to sell off valuable assets in hopes of building a brighter future? Advertisement The Red Sox already shipped superstar Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in a move that very well could go down as the biggest trade of the season. But what if the two teams connected again on another blockbuster? That is exactly what ClutchPoints' Baily Bassett proposes: Boston trade outfielder Jarren Duran to the Giants in exchange for three prospects: Carson Whisenhunt (Giants No. 2), Rayner Arias (Giants No. 7), and Carson Ragsdale (Giants No. 21). '[Duran's] numbers are slightly down this year, but he has still already hit eight triples. Duran is a speed threat who can hit for both power and contact,' wrote Barrett. 'He'd give the Giants a four-headed outfield monster and better their chances of winning this year's World Series. Plus, he obviously has familiarity with the recently traded for Devers.' Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora is seen before a game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Gorski-Imagn Images While the Red Sox may be reluctant to strike another deal with San Francisco, considering the fallout from the Devers trade, the package in return is stellar. Advertisement Whisenhunt, 24, is San Francisco's top pitching prospect and possesses an excellent repertoire of off-speed pitches, including a 70 out of 80 graded change-up. The left-hander projects to make his MLB debut later this season, and with how inconsistent Boston's rotation has been, Whisenhunt could feasibly slot into the starting five instantly. Arias, 19, is still in rookie ball. But in a crowded left-handed lineup, he provides some intriguing right-handed potential. Meanwhile, Ragsdale is a six-foot-eight-inch major league-ready relief arm with a plus curveball. Trading Duran is going to sting no matter what, especially being the lone All-Star in the outfield. However, with chief baseball officer Craig Breslow willing to make franchise-altering changes, moving Duran to the highest bidder makes logical sense – especially if it opens up an everyday position for top prospect Roman Anthony.

Former GM Dan O'Dowd Blasts Red Sox's Craig Breslow After Rafael Devers Trade
Former GM Dan O'Dowd Blasts Red Sox's Craig Breslow After Rafael Devers Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox, and specifically chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, have come under fire since the Rafael Devers trade. The deal itself was shocking, but the fallout has been worse. Boston is 3-6 since shipping Devers across the country, and after clawing their way back above .500 and half a game out of the Wild Card, the team has collapsed. Losing five consecutive games and now 2.5 games behind the final playoff spot, the public scrutiny continues – this time from former Colorado Rockies' General Manager Dan O'Dowd. Advertisement Speaking on the latest episode of Foul Territory, O'Dowd criticized Breslow for how he views players. 'He does not act like [a former player] to me A.J [Pierzynski]. It's perplexing to me. [Breslow] acts like a lot of current General Managers, which its players are part of a portfolio that they buy and sell.' Odowd continued by blasting Boston's chief baseball officer for how he handled the Rafael Devers trade, including the forced positional changes that led to the star's distrust of the team's front office and unwillingness to work with them. 'Raffy didn't handle it maturely, but I don't think the expectation was that you should have expected that he was going to handle that maturely,' O'Dowd said. 'If they had flown to the [Dominican Republic], and they had looked him in the eyes and they have said, 'Listen, you're not a real good defender. We got a chance to sign [Alex] Bregman or trade for [Nolan] Arenado. We're going to do that. So, let's talk about what the transition is for you." Advertisement O'Dowd also shared with the Foul Territory crew what Boston should have down to avoid the fallout with Devers and how they could have changed his mind about moving to first base. 'I think they should have immediately put a first base glove on him, and I think Raffy should have recognized that his long-term value in the game or even getting into the Hall of Fame someday, it creates way more value if he's playing a position [rather] than DH'ing.' Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow speaks with the media at the Hilton Anatole during the 2024 MLB Winter Miron-Imagn Images The nail in the coffin for O'Dowd was Breslow's message to the fanbase after the deal and the subsequent struggles of the team approaching the trade deadline. Advertisement 'They screwed themselves with their comments after the Raffy Devers deal. I don't think they're a good team. I think the sum of their parts does not equal the bigger part. I think they should be sellers at the deadline,' O'Dowd said. 'When you come out publicly and say, 'Hey listen, we're not taking a step back after the Devers deal.' Your credibility with your fanbase begins to erode to the point that it may not be salvageable if you keep going back on the things that you promise.' As Boston and Breslow attempt to pick up the pieces post-Devers trade, the team is currently 40-42 and looking to take advantage of a three-game series against the rival Toronto Blue Jays this weekend.
