Alex Cora praised Red Sox outfield Jarren Duran for openly discussing his past suicide attempt in a Netflix documentary set to be released on Tuesday.
“Obviously, I was aware of it,” Cora said Tuesday of Duran’s comments ahead of Boston’s home game against the Blue Jays. “Since I learned about it, me as a person, I’ve given him support and love, just somebody he can talk to. That door was always open. The relationship has grown throughout the years.
“Obviously, there were a lot of private conversations about the subject. I truly believe that him opening up is going to help a lot of people.
