US EditionMLB Insider Links Padres to Bold Trade Pursuit of Red Sox $3,750,000 Star Amid Gavin Sheets Injury Scare
- On June 1, 2025, outfielder Gavin Sheets of the San Diego Padres collided headfirst with the left field wall during a home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, resulting in an injury that forced him to leave the game.
- Gavin Sheets’s injury has exposed the Padres’ ongoing struggles in left field, leading the team to renew trade talks with the Boston Red Sox regarding their outfield player Jarren Duran, according to a report by Dennis Lin on June 2.
- Sheets is currently being monitored on a day-to-day basis due to injuries including a head injury, discomfort in his hip, and inflammation in his wrist and thumb. Meanwhile, Duran, who remains under contract through 2028, had an outstanding 2024 season but is facing a less productive year in 2025.
- Duran, age 28, earns $3.75 million this season and has a.718 OPS in 60 games, compared to his.834 OPS and 8.7 WAR in 2024, showing his value despite recent struggles.
- The Padres face a difficult June schedule and lack sufficient trade assets to easily acquire Duran, but their need for a left fielder makes pursuing him a priority amid playoff ambitions.
