During a recent segment on the MLB network, baseball insider Jon Morosi was breaking down potential trade candidates this winter, and he went on the limb with one major one when he declared his belief that Detroit will acquire Boston Red Sox star outfielder Jarren Duran.

A man who was notably not in that baker’s dozen worth of players was Red Sox right-handed starting pitcher Lucas Giolito, who bounced back from a long-term injury by posting a 3.41 ERA and 120 ERA+ (20% better than league average; not bad for your number three in the rotation) across 145 innings in 2025.
