So far, the Padres have been the team most heavily linked to Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. Recently, reports surfaced that suggested the Red Sox are no longer entertaining trade offers for the 28-year-old ( h/t Bob Nightengale of USA Today ). However, a new update has surfaced on Tuesday that will be worth monitoring until Thursday.

MassLive’s Fenway Insider Sean McAdam will host a live mailbag Thursday at 12 p.m. and will highlight the upcoming MLB trade deadline. Throughout the mailbag, McAdam and MassLive reporter Lauren Campbell will discuss the Boston Red Sox ’ plans, whether trading Jarren Duran makes sense and more.

The MLB trade deadline is almost here. At 6 P.M. (EST) this Thursday (July 31), the last deals will be made final, new teams will be crowned as contenders, others will have sold, and dozens of players will be donning new uniforms.
