Speaking to reporters at Fenway Park on Tuesday, Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran shared more about his decision to reveal during a Netflix documentary that he attempted suicide during the 2022 MLB season.
Duran shared in episode four of the Netflix series, “The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox,” that he attempted to take his own life amid the mounting pressure and criticism that he dealt with amid struggles that summer.
Duran acknowledged on Tuesday that he didn’t plan to reveal that story during the docu-series. But he ultimately opted to share it to raise awareness of the hurdles facing pro athletes — and to support others who are dealing with their own mental-health challenges.
