Jarren Duran Reacts to Big Red Sox Extension News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The expectations entering the 2025 season weren't all too high for the Boston Red Sox, but they've certainly impressed, sporting a 64-51 record, which puts them in second place in the AL East behind the Toronto Blue Jays.

"Jarren Duran is an interesting case. He turns 29 in September and can't become a free agent until after the 2028 season. He's also a player whose game is built around speed," Abraham wrote. "Projecting what kind of player Duran will be when he's 32 or 33 is difficult."

BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres host the Boston Red Sox on Friday to begin a three-game series. San Diego has a 36-19 record in home games and a 64-51 record overall. The Padres have the sixth-ranked team on-base percentage in the NL at .320.
