It’s also how much stood between the Red Sox and Jarren Duran at last week’s deadline to avoid going to arbitration. Duran filed at $4 million, his club offered $3.5 million. Come on. Duran was one of the best all-around players in the game last season.

Duran was the only arbitration-eligible player the Red Sox didn't settle with on Thursday. The post How far apart Red Sox, Jarren Duran reportedly were in arbitration figure submissions appeared first on Boston.

Team policy across the majors is to go to a hearing with any arbitration-eligible player who doesn’t agree before the deadline, but the Sox and Duran are at odds over $500,000.
