The Boston Red Sox are shopping outfielder Jarren Duran and also inquired about free-agent outfielder Seiya Suzuki at the GM meetings, reports The Boston Globe's Pete Abraham.

Duran had the worst full campaign of his career in 2026, hitting .207/.266/.361 with a 76 OPS+ in 151 games. In 2024, he was an All-Star and finished eighth in AL MVP voting.

The Red Sox attempted to move the 30-year-old at the trade deadline. The San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals both previously showed interest in Duran, who is arbitration-eligible in 2027 and under contract until 2029.

Suzuki is the top right-handed bat available in free agency after a five-year stint with the Chicago Cubs.

Last season, the 32-year-old finished 12th in the NL in fWAR after posting an .841 OPS with 26 homers, 31 doubles, and 86 RBIs in 143 games.
