The Boston Red Sox becoming sellers at the 2025 trade deadline would be an absolute debacle. After three years of missing the playoffs, the Red Sox put their cards on the table this offseason. The Garrett Crochet trade and the Alex Bregman signing were the two most obvious signs that this Boston team expected to find itself in the postseason.

That's 8 ½ games out in the AL East, though only 3 ½ out of a wild card spot. It's a bit too early for the front office to fully commit to being a buyer or seller in front of the trade deadline, but it is not too early for us to speculate.

The San Diego Padres are targeting Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran on the trade market, according to Dennis Lin of The Athletic.
