Jarren Duran, an outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, has faced significant mental health issues, including depression and a suicide attempt in 2022. His struggles are documented in the upcoming Netflix series "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox." After reflecting on a near-fatal moment when a rifle misfired, Duran believed he survived for a reason and chose to focus on his life and career. In 2024, he excelled on the field, leading the American League in several categories while signing a lucrative contract, signifying a remarkable turnaround in his journey.
I was already hearing it from fans, and what they said to me, [it was like], 'I've told myself 10 times worse in the mirror.' That was a really tough time for me. I didn't even want to be here anymore.
I got to a point where I was sitting in my room, I had my rifle and I had a bullet, and I pulled the trigger and the gun clicked, but nothing happened.
To this day, I think God just didn't let me take my own life because I seriously don't know why it didn't go off.
Let's be the way you want to be and play [the way] you want to play and live the way you want to live.
