The Red Sox are "no longer entertaining the idea" of trading All-Star outfielder Jarren Duran ahead of the deadline, according to WEEI's Rob Bradford.

Boston Red Sox's Alex Cora cautioned his team against trusting trade deadline rumors, claiming some ESPN personnel 'made s--- up' during his time at the network.

The Boston Red Sox would have to "eat most if not all of" a major contract to make room for the Philadelphia Phillies slugger.

The Boston Red Sox have many options to choose from if they want to trade outfielder Jarren Duran for a starting pitcher. Boston also has the luxury of being able to wait for the best offer rather than rushing to trade Duran before the deadline.

Marcelo Mayer's injury is leading to a lot of moving parts for the Red Sox. It could also impact how Craig Breslow approaches next week's trade deadline.
