The Red Sox are in the thick of the American League playoff race, but might they be willing to move on from Jarren Duran in an effort to help their pitching group?

CHICAGO — Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu are both out of the Red Sox lineup vs. a lefty starter Saturday. Roman Anthony will play right field and bat cleanup. Rob Refsnyder will play left field and lead off.

The Boston Red Sox have a clear trade demand in a potential Jarren Duran deal; they want a controllable starting pitcher in return for Duran.
