Duran is one of the most dynamic players in the league when he\u2019s right. And there are indications that some of the work he did on his swing and setup in the offseason could get him closer to 2024 levels than what he did in \u201825.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Duran has been very good at parts throughout his career, but has also been a bit inconsistent at times. When he\u2019s at his best, he brings game-changing talent to the Red Sox lineup that few players around the league can replicate.<\/p>\n<p>However, when he\u2019s struggling, he\u2019s very replaceable.<\/p>\n<p>Browne\u2019s comments suggest Boston still views Duran as a key piece of its core rather than a player the team is looking to move on from. If his season can be anything like much of 2024, the Red Sox will be a better team in this campaign because of it.<\/p>\n<p>Paredes would be a fun player to add, but he isn\u2019t needed right now.<\/p>\n<p>More MLB news:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Red Sox have been involved in various trade rumors this offseason, but one insider doesn\u2019t believe&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":616444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2375],"tags":[5,141,48,2542,4,89,2543],"class_list":{"0":"post-616555","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-red-sox","11":"tag-bostonredsox","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-red-sox","14":"tag-redsox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116204242434385560","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=616555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=616555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
