Overview

  • Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report floated the swap on Tuesday, with The Sporting News and Yahoo Sports relaying the details.
  • The hypothetical deal would send Boston outfielder Jarren Duran and right-hander Kutter Crawford to Arizona for second baseman Ketel Marte.
  • Duran is a 2024 All-Star with power and speed, while Crawford missed 2025 with knee and wrist injuries and did not pitch in spring games.
  • Miller also suggested Arizona could ask for Red Sox prospect Kristian Campbell to meet the Diamondbacks’ price.
  • Reports say Arizona expects to keep Marte into the first half, and his contract runs through 2030 with a full no-trade clause slated to start in April.
