00:00I just got this email in my inbox from the Red Sox.

00:02Ooh, look at you.

00:04Red Sox agreed to a one-year contract with outfielder Jaron Duran.

00:07Is it a sign-and-trade?

00:09It's like an NBA-style sign-and-trade.

00:11What are they doing?

00:13Okay, I don't know.

00:13Is it to make them more tradable?

00:15Well, I can't imagine he's on the team this year.

00:17Me either.

00:19Alex Spear says it's a one-year deal, $7.7 million.

00:22He had a team option for $8 million in 2026.

00:27Okay.

00:28There's a buyout.

00:31Also, they quibbled over $500,000 again.

00:32Well, this is what I think.

00:34This is like they know what he wants in arbitration.

00:38They're going to agree to a number, Keith, probably to make it easier to trade him.

00:42I think you're right.

00:42I think it's that.

00:43So the team knows it's not a headache for that.

00:45We don't have to go to arbitration with Jaron Duran.

00:47No, actually, the more I think about it, I think you're right.

00:50They're paying him now.

00:52Lock that number in.

00:53And so then whoever acquires him, the twins for Joe Nathan or whomever, that's very wishful thinking.

01:00Jesus Christ.

01:01I do that every time.

01:02Joe Ryan.

01:03Again, for the last time, I would take Joe Nathan.

01:06I don't know how many saves he has left in him.

01:07I do like both.

01:10I'm sorry.

01:11Jaron Duran, you lock him in to trade him wherever.

01:13Yeah.

01:14And now it's not we have to negotiate with him.

01:17What's he going to want in arbitration?

01:18Is that going to be a pain in the ass?

01:20Yep.

01:20It makes him easier to trade.

01:22Okay, good.

01:22I still think he gone.

01:24He gone.

01:24In the words of the great Hawk Harrelson, I think he gone.

01:26I think.

01:26Thank you, Hawk.

01:27I think he gone.

01:28But a one year deal for Jaron Duran likely to trade him because now the World Series is done.

01:33They they can start making moves.

01:34World Series is done.

01:36And what a World Series it was.

01:37But yeah, start getting ready for it.

01:39Okay.

01:40Well, maybe a Jaron Duran.

01:41Baseball hostile.

01:41Yeah, maybe a Jaron Duran trade here.

01:43Before we're done on NFL deadline day.

01:46Stay tuned.
