As a Reds fan, I love this angle - trading SP for OF help. Trading from a strength to fix a weakness. I just can’t get behind Duran after last year. He had a killer year in 2024… regressed in 2025. He’s likely somewhere in the middle. Is that worth Greene, who is the ace of the staff but is never healthy for a full year? It’s probably closer than it feels to me, but this is a tough sell for me. I have experimented with trades of Lodolo and Greene for OF help as well. I like where your head is at. Cheers.

I could see Brandon Clarke over Tolle. Clarke is also a BA Top 100 prospect but doesn’t require a 40 man roster spot just yet.

Duran for Green straight up is the only way I would do this. trade. Tolle has as much of a ceiling as Greene and more years of control. Given Greenes injury history the 1 for 1 is fair. If the Sox wanted to do this deal and the hard point was Reds wanted more then a lower level pitching prospect could be considered to add to Duran. Sox could also try for a RF P from Reds (Sandallin) if the package does expand.
