The Boston Red Sox have been the subject of trade rumors all throughout the offseason so and most have involved the outfield in some way.
When you have the level of talent Boston has, that’s going to be the case. Boston has Roman Anthony as a centerpiece to build the organization around into the future along with Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, and Masataka Yoshida, among other options. There are only so many spaces to go around, which is what has led to the chatter in general. This was the case this past summer as well, though.

But if the Red Sox do decide to trade an outfielder away, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand tabbed Duran as Boston’s top potential trade candidate while listing one option from each team.
Should the Red Sox swing a deal?
