I keep thinking that there has to be a way to get Ketel Marte. Red Sox have so much pitching depth and outfield depth, that there has to be a way. What would it cost Boston to get Ketel Marte and Zac Gallen? I would start with Duran (like him, but he can be moved), Bello (younger than Gallen by 4 years), Campbell (he could be really good, but...), and either Early or Tolle. (Or make that same offer to Cleveland for Jose Ramirez?)

Even though Arizona says Marte is off the table, I still think the Sox have enough to get him. Maybe Duran and Crawford for Marte?

You are correct... it would be like Nomar or Mookie for the Red Sox. However, another consideration is that Ramirez is 33 on a team of late 20 year-olds. (Duran is only 29... he fits the age of that team better.) I'm sure it would take something else included with Duran to make that trade happen, but Ramirez sure would look nice playing 3B and batting 2nd or 3rd for the Red Sox.

I have a trade proposal: The basic is Jarren Duran to Cleveland for Jose Ramirez. There may need to be a some things added, but it makes sense. Boston is rich in OF and in need of a quality 3B. Cleveland is poor in OF and two of their top prospect are at 3B. Money: I believe Cleveland would save money because Duran's contract is so low. But Ramirez is under contract through 2028 with his last year being the most at 25M... this would leave plenty of money and minor league talent to get Pete Alonso (FA) and a great SP (Trade).
