"Somebody just told me kill myself. I'm used to it at this point. I mean, [expletive] happens. I'm going to flip somebody off if they say something to me, but it is what it is. I shouldn't react like that. But that kind of stuff is still kind of triggering. It happens."
"It was a really terrible and unfortunate situation. Jarren said that he should not have reacted the way that he did, but also there's no place in our game for comments like the one that was directed at him."
"We've reached out to him to make sure that he knows that. He's been really open about his mental health challenges through the years and I think that's had a very positive impact on a lot of people."
Jarren Duran reacted to a fan's taunt during a game by flipping the middle finger, stating it was triggered by the comment urging him to kill himself. Duran has openly discussed his mental health struggles, including a suicide attempt in 2022, and advocates for transparency on the issue. Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow expressed the team's support for Duran, condemning the fan's comment and acknowledging the positive impact Duran's openness about mental health has had on others.
