ESPN's Jeff Passan was the latest MLB insider who has linked Jarren Duran as a potential trade target for the Padres.

Jarren Duran has been swinging a hot bat for the Red Sox, but continues to be connected to one National League team in trade rumors.

The Boston Red Sox could look to use one of their top talents, Jarren Duran, as a trade piece this season, with the San Diego Padres making sense as a fit.

Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez had found some consistency — until July 4, when the Kansas City Royals tagged him for eight earned runs.

Arizona has gone 23-22 in road games and 46-47 overall. Diamondbacks hitters have a collective .328 on-base percentage, the third-ranked percentage in the NL. The matchup Thursday is the seventh time these teams match up this season. The Diamondbacks hold a 4-2 advantage in the season series.
