I totally agree that it's time to move on from Duran, even if the return is meager. That reality is on Breslow.  The same holds true for a number of other players. It's time to go with the adage," take what you can get".

I agree with you, take whatever you can get for him at this point. I do like the idea of packaging him with either Gray or Chapman though to up a return even more. 
 

The Phillies need starter and outfield help. Gray would fit that rotation well. The Padres have been sniffing around Chapman and need help in the outfield too. The question then becomes what are either Dombrowski or Preller willing to part with that helps the Red Sox.

Get the best you can get for Duran, Gray & IKF. 

Chapman has a year left, and that should up his value way higher than BTV gives him. Contreras is aging, but aging well. He has 2 more years, as does Whitlock. These three should be shopped but are NOT in the "trade for the best offer- no matter what it is" category.

Other than Contreras I don't see anybody in the infield that I would lose sleep over seeing traded, and that includes Mayer. Of course he is one that could flourish in a new environment, but there are other middle infielders in the farm system. The hype that surrounded the "Big Three" for so long has dulled the senses of some.
