I’m tired of talking about the Red Sox being bad, but the Red Sox are bad and haven’t improved. A surefire way for improvement, you might believe, would be trading for better players. The trade deadline is still a few weeks away,

The Boston Red Sox probably didn't anticipate one of their best players being the subject of trade rumors in June, but that is the situation they've put themselves in.

A trade idea presented by Paul Hembekides would send Jarren Duran from the Boston Red Sox to the Seattle Mariners for Luis Castillo, Matt Brash, and Harry Ford.
