The San Diego Padres have reportedly been chasing a trade for Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran for months, but that pursuit has taken a wild turn.

The Red Sox entered Saturday night’s contest against the Dodgers with a 55-50 record — identical to their mark through 105 games en route to a vacationing-in-October, .500-record in 2024.

It’s the first time leading off in the majors for Anthony, who has usually hit second or third since debuting.
