Red Sox Prospect Pool Fuels Trade Deadline Frenzy
29 Jul
Summary
- Red Sox willing to trade from deep farm system
- Outfielder Jarren Duran's value rises due to Mayer injury
- Prospects like Tolle, Garcia, Campbell eyed for potential deals

The Boston Red Sox are considering trading from their deep farm system as the MLB trade deadline approaches this Thursday at 6 p.m. The team's chief baseball officer, Craig Breslow, has shown a willingness to make such deals in the past, including trading away the club's 2020 and 2023 first-round picks last December.
While the Red Sox have a surplus of young, big-league outfielders, the recent injury to infielder Marcelo Mayer has increased the trade value of outfielder Jarren Duran, who had been the subject of previous trade rumors. The team is also evaluating other top prospects, such as left-handed pitcher Brandon Tolle, outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela, and infielder Kristian Campbell, as potential trade chips to acquire a proven, big-league starter and help the team make a playoff push this season.
The Red Sox had been on a recent hot streak, winning three of their last four games, before a walk-off loss to the Twins on Monday. With their deep prospect pool, the team is well-positioned to make a splash at the trade deadline as they aim to return to the postseason.
