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 Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox are "prominently in" for Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Durán, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

Despite unloading Rafael Devers and his entire contract, the Red Sox might be financially hamstrung to make any big splashes before the MLB trade deadline.
