Is Jarren Duran the ANSWER For Cleveland Guardians DESPERATE OF Search? | Trade Fit With Red Sox?

Could All-Star Jarren Duran be available this off-season and are the Cleveland Guardians a potential fit? Is Durran's availability be the answer in Cleveland's outfield, or is the price too steep? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down why Boston might move Duran despite his 6.8 WAR season, analyzing his splits against left-handed pitching and defensive concerns. The discussion examines what it would cost Cleveland to acquire him—potentially Gavin Williams or other proven pitching—and whether that price makes sense given Duran's three years of control. The show also spotlights an under-the-radar alternative: Romy Gonzalez, whose elite hard-hit metrics rank fourth in baseball behind only Schwarber, Ohtani, and Judge. We also dive into Boston's roster construction priorities, Cleveland's historical approach to acquisitions, and identifying market inefficiencies in players from struggling organizations. Discover which trade target makes more sense for the Guardians' championship window and why underlying metrics matter more than All-Star appearances. 0:00 Intro - Jarren Duran trade rumors begin 5:26 Why the Red Sox might trade Duran 9:48 Shopping vs. taking calls on players 14:56 What would it take to acquire Duran 18:55 Comparing Duran's value to Guardians pitchers 22:11 Problems with "former All-Star" label 25:36 Andrew Vaughn trade comparison and market inefficiencies 28:20 Romy Gonzalez as alternative target 30:37 Logan Allen and pitching depth discussion 32:12 Top five hard-hit rates in baseball 33:00 Outro - Halloween candy preferences Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
