On Monday, Mets on SI's Mike Phillips suggested that New York could acquire 2024 All-Star outfielder Jarren Duran, who is the oldest of the Red Sox's outfielders and is under team control for the fewest years (through 2028).

The Boston Red Sox have already traded away one key player in Rafael Devers. They could cut ties with an elite pitcher if they fall out of contention.

According to Newsweek's Andrew Wright, Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is considered a trade candidate for the New York Mets, who are looking to address their own bullpen issues.
