It’s not surprising that Duran, a left-handed hitter, has been mentioned in trade rumors. Boston has a surplus of left-handed hitting outfielders. The Red Sox could look to trade one of their left-handed bats to shore up another area of need on the roster like starting pitching.

The Boston Red Sox earned one of their most impressive wins of the season on Saturday night as they took down the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a hard-fought game, but Boston got some timely hitting and another vintage performance from Garrett Crochet to take down Los Angeles and improve its record to 56-50.
