Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran reacted to a fan's inappropriate comment by giving the middle finger during a game in Minnesota. He revealed that the comment referenced his prior suicide attempt, which he discussed in a recent Netflix documentary.
MINNEAPOLIS â Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran was caught on camera giving the middle finger to a fan at Minnesotaâs Target Field after he grounded out in the fifth inning Tuesday.
Duran claimed the fan made an inappropriate comment relating to his prior suicide attempt.
âSomebody just told me to kill myself,â Duran said. âIâm used to it at this point. I mean, (expletive) happens. Iâm gonna flip somebody off if they say something to me. But it is what it is. I shouldnât react like that. But that kind of stuff is still kind of triggering. So it happens.â
Duran opened up about his prior suicide attempt in the Netflix documentary, "The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox," released April 8, 2025.
âHonestly, itâs my fault for talking about my mental health because I kind of brought in the haters,â Duran said. âSo itâs something Iâve got to get used to.â
This is not the first time Duran claimed this happened. He stared and pointed into the stands at a fan at Clevelandâs Progressive Field on April 27, 2025, after the fan told him, âGo (expletive) kill yourself."
Manager Alex Cora was unaware that Duran gave the middle finger to the fan when asked about it during his postgame press conference. The Red Sox lost 6-0 to Minnesota.
âI havenât seen it. I just got back to the clubhouse,â Cora said.
Duran added, âI didnât really tell anybody so like, thatâs on me. Just trying to hold it in and not really bring that up to the team. Weâre trying to win a game. I shouldnât even bring that up to anybody. Itâs not really something I want to be like, Bro, you should have heard what this guy said to me.â Thatâs not the most important thing. The most important thing is win the game and yeah, it just happens.â
If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, you are not alone.
