The 21-year-old outfielder, who is considered the top prospect in baseball, is tearing it up in Triple-A, hitting .303\/.430\/.492 with eight home runs, nine doubles, and two triples.

His batting line is down from last year when he finished .285\/.342\/.492 with a 131 OPS+.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>The Athletic\u2019s Dennis Lin\u00a0reports that the San Diego Padres are interested in Duran to pair him with All-Star outfielders\u00a0Fernando Tatis Jr.\u00a0and Jackson Merrill. However, Bowden doesn\u2019t believe the Padres have the prospects to get a deal done with the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow the problem with the rumor is that there\u2019s really not a fit between the Padres and the Red Sox,\u201d the former GM explained. \u201cThey don\u2019t really have the starting pitcher to trade Boston, their farm system isn\u2019t what it once was. So I don\u2019t know how those two teams would match. So I think it\u2019s unlikely there\u2019s a trade there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding Duran would fill a hole in left field for the Padres. San Diego\u2019s left fielders rank 29th in baseball in OPS (.532) and last in batting average (.191).<\/p>\n<p>But if Duran doesn\u2019t get moved to the Padres, Breslow and the Red Sox will likely listen to offers for the 2024 All-Star. Duran is making $3.75 million this year and has an $8 million club option for 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Rick Cinclair\/Telegram &amp; Gazette \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Questions are swirling about when the\u00a0Boston Red Sox will finally call up Roman Anthony.
