As the trade deadline enters its final 24 hours, Jarren Duran’s name is still squarely in the mix, with the San Diego Padres continuing to pursue the outfielder. One National League evaluator noted the Padres’ extreme interest in Duran and cited San Diego general manager AJ Preller’s “aggressiveness” as a reason he felt a deal could get done.

The San Diego Padres have reportedly been chasing a trade for Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran for months, but that pursuit has taken a wild turn.

"The Boston Red Sox have no plans to trade outfielder Jarren Duran at the deadline, rejecting the San Diego Padres’ offers, and more likely to move him this winter," Nightengale wrote on Sunday.
