Daily Red Sox Links: Jarren Duran, Triston Casas, Billy Beane

When the Red Sox released their roster for Instructs down in Florida, it was a bit of a surprise when Jarren Duran was not on the list. The thought was that maybe he’d played enough this summer and they wanted looks at others. As it turns out, he’ll be playing in Puerto Rico instead. (Christopher Smith; Masslive)

Speaking of Duran, it won’t come as a shock to anyone that the outfielder is on John Tomase’s list of the top ten prospects in the system. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

It is no secret that Boston needs to find some pitching help this weekend. Although most of that focus is understandably on the rotation, the bullpen needs work too. Here are five free agents to keep an eye on when the market gets going. (Dakota Randall; NESN)

The big news lately has been John Henry and company potentially going public. Here’s what that does and does not mean. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)

This would not be a first in Boston sports history, though. (Daniel Kaplan; The Athletic)

Said deal would also involve Billy Beane. He would actually be leaving baseball behind if it goes through, but not before changing it drastically. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)
