The Boston Red Sox earned one of their most impressive wins of the season on Saturday night as they took down the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a hard-fought game, but Boston got some timely hitting and another vintage performance from Garrett Crochet to take down Los Angeles and improve its record to 56-50.

While the Red Sox might keep Duran for the rest of the 2025 season, his long-term future in Boston might be murky. The post Red Sox reportedly unlikely to trade Jarren Duran ahead of deadline. What does it mean for Boston in 2025 and beyond?

Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow vowed in mid-June after the Rafael Devers trade that he would still bolster the team at the deadline. Now it’s crunch time, and despite a 2-5 record with a tough schedule coming out of the All-Star break, another commanding win Saturday gave Breslow more reason to fortify the club.
