minneapolis– boston red sox outfielder jerren duran An obscene gesture was made toward a fan at Target Field while returning to the dugout after a fifth-inning groundout in Boston. 6-0 damage to minnesota twins On Tuesday night.
Duran, who has spoken about his mental health, said a fan made a personal comment that crossed the line.
“Someone told me to kill myself,” Duran said. “I’m used to it at this point, you know? I mean, s— happens. I mean, if someone said something to me I’d ignore it, but it is what it is. I shouldn’t react like that, but things like that are still triggering.”
Duran discussed severe depression and a suicide attempt in the Netflix series that debuted last year.
“Honestly, it’s my fault for talking about my mental health because I kind of brought in the haters. So I’ve had to get used to it,” Duran said. “I was just trying to hold it in and not really bring it up to the team. I mean, we’re trying to win a game. I shouldn’t even bring it up to anybody. … It just happens.”
Boston manager Alex Cora said he did not witness the incident and had not reviewed video of it.
Duran was in 2024 two games suspended by the Red Sox and MLB in response to a fan using an anti-gay slur.
