Red Sox's Jarren Duran opens up about mental health, attempted suicide in Netflix documentary

WARNING: This story contains mention of suicide.

Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran said in an upcoming documentary series that two years before his 2024 All-Star season, the pressures of the sport led him to intense bouts of depression and an attempted suicide.

"I remember when I was going through it and you start losing a couple of games and you're not doing good, it feels like the world is kind of creeping in on you," Duran, 28, said in the fourth episode of an eight-part Netflix series titled, "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox," which will debut on Tuesday.

The episode chronicles the journey of Duran, a seventh-round draft pick in 2018, to making his MLB debut in 2021 after becoming one of the majors' top prospects as one of the top hitters in the minors. It also delves into his struggles not long after getting called up to the majors, as the former infielder had a difficult time adapting to playing in the outfield.

"They love you one day, and then the next day they have to grind on you a little bit," Duran recalled.
