Jarren Duran’s first three months were a disappointment, as he hit just .253 with a .723 OPS. In July, though, he outperformed a breakout 2024 season.

As the trade deadline enters its final 24 hours, Jarren Duran’s name is still squarely in the mix, with the San Diego Padres continuing to pursue the outfielder. One National League evaluator noted the Padres’ extreme interest in Duran and cited San Diego general manager AJ Preller’s “aggressiveness” as a reason he felt a deal could get done.
