Kenley had gone into this game having not given up a homer this year 😅 Thanks to Jarren Duran that streak continues another day

KC loses, MN wins. Sox .5 back.

I take full credit, as the comeback started when I tuned in. Ref just didn't waste any time. Thanks for leading us to victory Jerry.

Didn't see the game and just saw the replay of Duran's tag and score. That is the worst throw in the history of MLB.

I cant believe there are people who would trade Duran.

I cant believe there are people who would trade Duran. Duran has developed into an almost ideal leadoff hitter/ offensive weapon. I doubt that many here WANT to trade him. However if it drastically improved the team, you have to listen.

However if it drastically improved the team, you have to listen. The amount of guys who are better than Jarren Duran (who is hitting .283/.348/.478 with elite defense and base-running) and who are available is… possibly 0? Like if Craig Breslow wants to hold the Dodgers’ GM at gunpoint and ask for Shohei, by all means go ahead. Duran has legit been a top 10/top 15 player in baseball.

I cant believe there are people who would trade Duran. To be fair, his defense looked dicey for a while. I never wanted to trade him, but I understand the sentiment.

That's a play he couldn't make when he first broke in, balls hit right at him were a problem. No more it seems. He can carry the team on his back and he did this game.

Fairchild may have nightmares about Duran tonight.
Can't remember seeing such a strong pair of plays by one player against another in the pivotal moments of a game on both offense and defense. Duran tags up and beats Fairchild's throw from very shallow left field to score the go ahead run in the 8th inning, and then in the bottom of the 9th inning, Fairchild hits what would have been the game tying home run off of the Red Sox closer, but Duran climbs the wall and absolutely robs Fairchild in straightaway center.

What could you possibly get in return that would drastically improve the team??? Not gonna happen but if Seattle offers Kirby or Gilbert for duran straight up, I think you have to make that deal. Like I said it’s not happening

However if it drastically improved the team, you have to listen. I don’t think anyone seriously wants to trade him right now (another bad narrative), but I will fully admit that I was wrong as someone who wanted to trade him this past offseason. I thought between the under the hood stats implying regression and the roller coaster his development as a hitter would up as that last season was not sustainable for him. I am very glad that I was wrong!

Like I said it’s not happening To my own surprise, I think the Red Sox in this (as you note unlikely) hypothetical… say no? Duran has been mildly more valuable (3.1 fWAR, 3.9 bWAR), than Kirby (2.1 fWAR, 1.2 bWAR) or Gilbert (2.2 fWAR, 2.3 bWAR) this season. Duran and Kirby are free agents in 2029, Gilbert a year earlier. Combined with the “elbow tax” of never knowing if or when one of those guys might need a visit with Dr. James Andrews and miss a year and a half, if this is what Jarren Duran is now he is just frankly a better asset than those two arms.

I don't think this team is one ML front of the line pitcher away from being a legit WS contender and especially if you remove at least the 2nd best position player from the roster. Also for reasons you point out I'm not dealing duran for Gilbert or Kirby or pretty much any pitcher due to the risk of injury to pitchers is so high. I'd rather just play out this year and make a run at burnes/fried/sasaki. If they pull off signing one of them they're golden.

I'd rather they risk big money on a pitcher blowing out than risk losing top guys likely to be valuable/needed players in a trade for top of the line pitching. For a lesser tier pitcher I'd be more willing to trade the lesser tier excess depth, not that the Red Sox have actually asked me for my opinion, lol.
