At the start of his career, Boston Red Sox player Jarren Duran faced serious mental problems that led him to attempt suicide in 2022.
His depression was so strong that the center fielder pointed his rifle at himself and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not fire.
A great addition! The Rizzler causes sensation by throwing out the first pitch for the New York Mets
“I got to a point where I was sitting in my room, I had my rifle and a bullet, I pulled the trigger and the gun clicked, but nothing happened”, Duran revealed.
The Red Sox star saw it as a sign from God that the gun did not fire.
“So, to this day, I think God just didn’t allow me to take my life because, seriously, I don’t know why it didn’t work,” she explained.
These revelations were shared by the center fielder in the Netflix series, “The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox”.
TMZ Sports indicates in the fourth episode of the series, the player related that, although on the field he faced criticism from spectators for his play, he was even harder on himself.
“I was already hearing it from the fans,” Duran said. “And what they were telling me, it was like, ‘I’ve said ten times worse things to myself in the mirror’. It was a very difficult time for me. I didn’t even want to be here anymore,” he added.
Understanding that if he was alive it was for a reason, Duran saw changes in his personal life, but also found success on the field: in the 2023 season, he had a .295 batting average with 40 RBIs prior to his toe injury that sidelined him, according to TMZ Sports.
Last year was the best of his career so far, as in addition to winning the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award, he played 160 games and posted a .285 batting average, 21 home runs and 75 runs batted in.

On Tour: torcedor conta como o tempo de Botafogo chegou à terra do grunge
Em junho de 2021, depois de uma vitória sobre o Remo no estádio da Cidadania, em Volta Redonda, acompanhávamos angustiados a instável campanha do Botafogo na Série B, com o receio de uma queda para a Série C ou de mais um ano longe da elite. Se alguém dissesse que, quatro anos depois, estaríamos em um Mundial de Clubes nos Estados Unidos, daríamos as costas, chamaríamos de louco e seguiríamos esperançosos de que o nosso clube não acabaria. Agora, sob a trilha de Belchior em 2024 e do rock and roll em 2025, estou com outros torcedores e o time em Seattle para acompanhar a estreia do Botafogo na Copa do Mundo de Clubes. Cidade berço do movimento grunge, que revelou ao mundo bandas como Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden e Foo Fighters, Seattle também nos conecta à década de ouro […]

Estreia no Mundial de Clubes contra time da MLS dá sequência à relação forte do Botafogo com os Estados Unidos
Chegou o dia. Hoje, às 23h (horário de Brasília), em Seattle, nos Estados Unidos, o Botafogo finalmente estreia na Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa. O sorteio colocou o time carioca em um dos grupos mais difíceis do torneio, com PSG-FRA e Atlético de Madrid-ESP como próximos adversários. E quis o destino que a equipe de Renato Paiva abrisse sua campanha contra o Seattle Sounders, representante da MLS (Major League Soccer, a liga de futebol do país) e um dos “donos da casa”. A boa notícia é que, seja pelo perfil do projeto esportivo da SAF ou pelas conexões criadas por John Textor, o Botafogo conhece bem o futebol americano. O tal do soccer. Desde que o alvinegro virou um clube-empresa, a MLS se tornou um dos mercados mais observados pela diretoria em busca de reforços. Integrantes da SAF […]
