The rumors that the Red Sox might trade Jarren Duran started back in early July, roughly around the same time Roman Anthony proved that he was not an overhyped prospect, but instead was tracking to be the superstar to lead Boston into its next era of winning.

The Boston Red Sox have been dealing with a good problem since the call up of Roman Anthony, with that problem being that they have too many good outfielders. Anthony, Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, and Ceddanne Rafaela have all been fighting for playing time, leading critics to believe one would be traded this offseason.

The Boston Red Sox have whiffed on a few star free agents this winter. They need to make a move to keep up in the American League.
