MLB insider Hector Gomez creates a wild trade idea, sending the Boston Red Sox Jarren Duran and Marcelo Mayer to the San Diego Padres for Xander Bogaerts and their top three prospects.

The San Diego Padres have explored a trade with the Red Sox for All-Star left fielder Jarren Duran, a source confirmed to a veteran Boston reporter.

After defeating the Chicago Cubs 10-4 on April 14, the Padres possessed an MLB-best 14-3 record, two-and-a-half games ahead of the defended champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Since that date, however, the Padres have gone a rather pedestrian 21-22, falling a game back of the Dodgers and into the second wild-card position.
