The Boston Red Sox are expected to part ways with outfielder Jarren Duran, projected to earn $11.1 million in arbitration for the 2027 season. Duran's projected salary follows a disappointing 2026 season where he posted a.207 batting average and led the team in strikeouts. Various analysts highlight the difficulty of justifying the projected amount after two subpar years, increasing the likelihood of a non-tender decision before the November 20 deadline. Duran, ranked fourth on the team's outfield depth chart, is also considered a trade candidate as the Red Sox navigate multiple roster decisions this offseason.
- •Duran batted.207 with 20 home runs and 69 RBIs in 2026.
- •He earned $7.7 million in 2026 after avoiding arbitration.
- •Duran's potential non-tender would be significant before the November deadline.
- •He ranks behind Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Wilyer Abreu in outfield depth.
- •Duran is viewed as the most likely Red Sox player to be traded.
