On the even of the MLB trade deadline, Jhoan’s name came up frequently and was connected to several teams including the Red Sox. While Boston already has closer Aroldis Chapman in its bullpen, adding another arm in the bullpen to bolster it would benefit the club looking to make a legitimate postseason push.

The Red Sox are maintaining a defiant stance that the players they have — the ones who have gotten them this far — are good enough.

Jarren Duran is expected to remain with the Boston Red Sox through Thursday's MLB trade deadline. Boston is no longer entertaining a trade for the speedy outfielder, according to a report by WEEI's Rob Bradford on Monday.
