In an ideal world, the Red Sox won't send Duran to an American League team, given he'd come with three additional years of club control after this one, but a team like the Cleveland Guardians is unlikely to keep Duran along long-term, needs outfield help, and has intriguing assets to offer.

Devers signed a contract extension in 2023 that seemingly cemented him as the face of the Red Sox, but his relationship with the team deteriorated when he was asked to change positions.
