The San Diego Padres are reportedly targeting Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran for a potential trade in exchange for prospects.

Jarren Duran wasn't pleased when the third base umpire called his check-swing a swinging strikeout for the second out of the eighth. The Red Sox lost another one-run game Monday.

That's 8 ½ games out in the AL East, though only 3 ½ out of a wild card spot. It's a bit too early for the front office to fully commit to being a buyer or seller in front of the trade deadline, but it is not too early for us to speculate.
