Summary
- Boston among teams "prominently in" on Twins' Jhoan Duran
- Duran having strong season with 2.01 ERA, 16 saves
- Red Sox have established closer in Aroldis Chapman

According to recent reports, the Boston Red Sox are among the teams "prominently in" on acquiring Minnesota Twins' closer Jhoan Duran ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Duran has been dominant this season, posting a 2.01 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 16 saves in 49 appearances for the Twins.
The Red Sox, who currently have Aroldis Chapman as their established closer, are said to be interested in upgrading their bullpen. Duran's strong performance has caught the attention of several contending teams, including the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, New York Mets, and Seattle Mariners.
The Twins could potentially move Duran as early as Wednesday, as the team looks to capitalize on the right-hander's value. The Red Sox, who are in the midst of a playoff push, could benefit from adding Duran's high-powered arm to their relief corps as they aim to secure a postseason berth.
