It has been confirmed that the Sandy Ego Padres have actively strengthened their power to advance to the playoffs this summer. He is in tough negotiations with the Boston Red Sox to sell Dylan Sheese, who was once known as an ace.

According to a report by local media outlet MassLive Sean McAdham on the 26th (Korea time), San Diego recently offered Boston a trade proposal for outfielder Jaren Duran on the condition of giving up three promising players, Siz, second-ranked catcher Ethan Salas, and another promising shortstop Leo Devries, but was rejected.

San Diego has been worried about its outfield history this season, and it is said that it has sent a love call to Boston over Duran in recent months.

It is true that Boston also showed interest in Seeds because it desperately needs to strengthen its starting lineup. However, it seems that San Diego's proposal was insufficient as a condition for giving up Duran.

Duran will have to finish the 2028 season to become an FA. The team that takes him can control him for another three years starting next year. He renewed his contract for an annual salary of $3.85 million this year and put the club option on $8 million next year.

Duran has a batting average of 0.254 (106 hits in 417 at-bats), nine homers, 53 RBIs, 57 runs, 16 steals, and an OPS of 0.749 in 103 games this season. With 25 doubles and 10 triples, it can be considered a medium- and long-range shot. He was also selected as an All-Star last year with a batting average of 0.285 with 21 home runs, 75 RBIs, 111 runs, 48 doubles, 14 triples, 34 steals, and an OPS of 0.834. After last year, he is also No. 1 in AL in the triple category this year.

Boston rejected San Diego's trade offer, which includes Siz, because it didn't like all three players. In particular, Seeds will become an FA after this season. He is already experiencing a sharp decline in his skills this year, and he seems to have decided that the trade effect is not significant because he has to spend more than two months and let go. In addition, Salas is in a state of injury after slumping at the beginning of the season with a batting average of 0.188 and an OPS of 0.544 in Double A.

Siz has thrown 113 ⅔ innings in 21 games this year, with 3-10 losses and an ERA of 4.59, which is below expectations. Compared to last year's 14 wins and 11 losses, 3.47 ERA and 224 strikeouts, his skills are sharp. He was 14-8 with a 2.20 ERA and 227 strikeouts in 32 appearances for the Chicago White Sox in 2022, ranking second in voting for the AL Cy Young Award. As a fireballer, he is still considered an ace.

In response, Sports Illustrated said 'The Padres are likely to continue negotiations for Duran ahead of the trade deadline later this month. I tried to make changes by putting designated hitter Gavin Sheets in left field, but none of them had much effect,' he said. This means that Duran is all-in on recruiting.

If you look at the San Diego outfield, right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. and center fielder Jackson Merrill are the team's leading hitters, and they have no problem, but their positions in left field are weak.

In the meantime, Boston reportedly wants a better starting pitcher than Siz. MLB.com says Boston, looking for a starter beyond the "seas," has contacted the Miami Marlins for right-hander Sandy Alcantara. The Padres are also interested in Alcantara' and that Boston and Miami did not exchange specific cards because negotiations were in the early stages.
