The Athletic's Jim Bowden has proposed a three-team trade deal that would send Boston Red Sox left fielder Jarren Duran to the San Diego Padres ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.

The Boston Red Sox have many options to choose from if they want to trade outfielder Jarren Duran for a starting pitcher. Boston also has the luxury of being able to wait for the best offer rather than rushing to trade Duran before the deadline.

Trade predictions are flying all over the place with the deadline approaching. One former general manager believes this three-team trade could benefit everyone.

The Padres may not get the outfielder they initially wanted ahead of the trade deadline. They may want to settle for Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano.
