The Boston Red Sox would need to be completely blown away by a trade offer in order to cut ties with Jarren Duran this season.
Abreu missed a 93.5 mph sinker below the strike zone from Cubs reliever Ryan Pressly on his first-pitch bunt attempt. He then ripped the next pitch into the right field bleachers to give Boston its first lead of the three-game series after 24 innings tied or trailing.
The Red Sox had scored just one run in their first 24 innings coming out of the All-Star break and were in danger of getting swept at Wrigley Field.
