In a recent game at Target Field, Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran reacted to a fan's offensive comment by directing an obscene gesture towards him. The incident occurred after Duran's fifth-inning groundout during Boston's 6-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Duran revealed that the fan told him to kill himself, a remark that he found particularly triggering given his past struggles with mental health, including severe depression and a suicide attempt, which he discussed in a Netflix series last year. He expressed that while he understands such comments are part of being in the public eye, they still affect him deeply. Duran acknowledged that he has to learn to cope with the negativity, stating, “It’s my fault for talking about my mental health because I kind of brought in the haters.” Boston manager Alex Cora commented that he did not see the incident and had not reviewed any video footage of it.
