The Royals enter this offseason looking to upgrade an outfield that produced the fewest runs in baseball last year. One intriguing trade target who could help change that is Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, whose name has surfaced frequently in trade rumors this winter.

Jarren Duran is a 29-year-old from California who debuted in 2021. The left-handed hitter struggled in his first two seasons, but came on in 2023 and was an All-Star in 2024. He led the league in doubles (48) and triples (14) that year and was fourth among all American League hitters in rWAR at 8.4. He regressed a bit this year, but was still a very productive player, hitting .256/.332/.442 with 16 home runs, 24 steals, and a league-high 13 triples, good for 4.7 rWAR.
