Amid the flurry of deals made by the Boston Red Sox leading up to the trade deadline, Jarren Duran was not expecting to remain with the club after Monday. It's a little bit of an exaggeration to say Duran is statistically the worst player in MLB right now. The Red Sox dealt for Adley Rutschman, Erik Miller and Eli White on Monday. That level of confidence from Boston helps explain why Duran remains an everyday player despite describing himself as the worst player in MLB. Another explanation is that the Red Sox have seen an extremely high level of performance from Duran not that long ago.
