There are two players Rosenthal named, one being\u00a0Jarren Duran, who&#8217;s been at the center of trade rumors in the last week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s Duran,&#8221; Rosenthal said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s Abreu, I don&#8217;t know exactly how you do this, because all these guys we&#8217;re talking about are guys you want on your team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_102485315\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p>If the Red Sox are in a situation where, once Bregman returns, they decide to trade one of their outfielders, it&#8217;s most likely going to be Duran. With Duran being 28 years old, three years older than Abreu and four years older than Ceddane Rafaela, the Red Sox sending Duran away makes the most sense of the three.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why the Red Sox would have to move a player like Duran is because of all the young talent they have on the roster. Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kristian Campbell are top prospects and players the Red Sox should try to develop in the Major Leagues.<\/p>\n<p>As the Red Sox get closer to the return of Bregman, the potential departure of Duran creeps closer to becoming reality. Boston would get a solid return for Duran, likely targeting a first baseman or starting pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>But, they&#8217;d lose a fan favorite in the process. It&#8217;d be bittersweet, but in the long run, for the Red Sox, it could be the move that helps them compete for the next half-decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0have a problem with their roster, albeit it&#8217;s a good one to have.
