"If it happens, it happens, but it’s just all rumors for now, so I’m just gonna keep having fun with my boys." The post Red Sox’ Jarren Duran not concerned with trade deadline rumors, calling it one of the few things he doesn’t stress over appeared first on Boston.

It’s not surprising that Duran, a left-handed hitter, has been mentioned in trade rumors. Boston has a surplus of left-handed hitting outfielders. The Red Sox could look to trade one of their left-handed bats to shore up another area of need on the roster like starting pitching.

As the San Diego Padres continue to nip at the heels of the spiraling Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the West, general manager AJ Preller has been hard at work trying to creatively improve the team.
