US EditionRed Sox Predicted to Trade Jarren Duran to Dodgers After Ranger Suarez Signing
The Red Sox must keep Rule 5 pick Ryan Watson on their 26-man roster all season or risk losing him amid a crowded outfield and active trade talks.
- With about one month remaining before spring training, Ryan Watson is pushing to make the Boston Red Sox Opening Day roster after being acquired in December's Rule 5 Draft and must stay on the 26-man roster for 2026.
- With Boston's outfield crowded, Jarren Duran looks expendable despite Craig Breslow resisting a trade with Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu locked in.
- Watson profiles as a 6-foot-5, 225-pound righty with a four-seam fastball, sinker, split-finger fastball, slider and curveball, posting a 4.26 ERA with 11.4 strikeouts per nine last year at Triple-A Sacramento.
- A proposed trade for Jarren Duran could return infield help and top prospects Luisangel Acuá, Brandon Sproat, and Jacob Reimer, replenishing Boston's farm after earlier offseason trades.
- Big-Market signings and proposals have sharpened the Duran debate after Kyle Tucker's deal, with Tucker's three-year fWAR 13.6 and $60 million contract contrasting Duran's 13.2 fWAR and $7.7 million salary.

Red Sox Reportedly Make Firm Stance On Trevor Story
