Duran played primarily in LF in 2025, so I doubt he can be penciled in as our CF. Wondering if Chourio will just take over there fulltime?
Duran's numbers weren't that great this past season. In fact, his stat line was down in almost every category.
Worse in hits, homers, doubles, runs, stolen bases, OBP, OPS, and slugging. Batting average took a major hit down to .256 from .285 the year before. Also, he struck out more with fewer at bats than 2024. 2025 he struck out 27%, 2024 he struck out 23%.
Be nice to get a guy in the OF that has 30 HR potential, and I don't think Duran is that guy hitting only 16 in 2025.
Of course, he'd be better than Perkins, Baddoo, and Lockridge, so it wouldn't be all bad. His contract is decent too so I can see this happening, I just don't want to throw anymore prospects into the mix from our side, as I think Duran for Freddy is good enough.
