A trade idea proposed by Paul Hembekides would send Jarren Duran from the Boston Red Sox to the San Diego Padres for Luis Arraez, Ethan Salas, and Jeremiah Estrada.

In an ideal world, the Red Sox won't send Duran to an American League team, given he'd come with three additional years of club control after this one, but a team like the Cleveland Guardians is unlikely to keep Duran along long-term, needs outfield help, and has intriguing assets to offer.

The Boston Red Sox probably didn't anticipate one of their best players being the subject of trade rumors in June, but that is the situation they've put themselves in.
