The Philadelphia Phillies are exploring options for an impact outfielder before the trade deadline. Recently, Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox was identified as a potential target. Despite being called a 'strong fit' by Jim Bowden, Duran's left-handed batting style clashes with the Phillies' need for right-handed hitters. The Phillies already have several left-handed hitters, including Brandon Marsh, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber, and are focused on acquiring a right-handed option instead.
