Red Sox's Jarren Duran opens up about mental health, attempted suicide
BOSTON — EDITOR'S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988. There is also an online chat at —— 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.' 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. He said there were times he felt players were treated like 'zoo animals.' 'Sometimes some fans take it too serious. I feel they cross the line when they start talking about my mental health — making fun of me for that,' Duran said. 'Calling me weak. It just kind of triggered me when you start talking about mental health because I feel like that is just part of it — that loneliness. Some people deal with it better than others.' The intense atmosphere of the Boston sports media market also wore on him, he said. 'I remember when I first started struggling I was like, just send me back down (to the minor leagues),' he recalled. 'It honestly felt like there was a dark cloud over me because it's so easy to look past the positive things for me, and then to grab onto the negative things.' That pressure to perform came to a head at one point for the young slugger. 'I couldn't deal with telling myself how much I sucked everyday,' Duran said. 'I was already hearing it from fans. And what they said to me, (it's not like) I haven't told myself 10 times worse in the mirror. That was a really tough time for me. I didn't even want to be here anymore.' The series' director, Greg Whiteley, then asked, 'When you say, 'here,' you mean here with the Red Sox or here on planet Earth?' 'Probably both,' Duran said before going into detail. In a statement, Red Sox President and CEO Sam Kennedy commended Duran for being open about taking care of his mental health. 'Jarren's decision to share his story is an act of courage that reaches far beyond baseball,' Kennedy said. 'By opening up, he's showing others who may be struggling that they're not alone and that asking for help isn't just okay, it's essential. Every member of this organization continues to stand with him. He has our deepest admiration, he's always had our full support, and we're incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our team.' Manager Alex Cora said he was aware of the situation long before the Netflix filming. 'I mean, obviously, I was aware of it,' Cora said before Boston's scheduled game against Toronto. 'Since I learned about it, me as a person, I've been giving him support, love. I'm somebody that he can talk to. That door's always open. The relationship has grown throughout the years. Obviously, a lot of private conversations about the subject. I truly believe that him opening up is going to help a lot of people. 'It takes a person with courage and being transparent and genuine to do that. ... I hope that's how we see it — that he will impact others and he's going to save lives with what he did in Netflix.'

Former Baker deputy Mike Kennealy launches campaign for governor
BOSTON (SHNS) – Mike Kennealy, a former private equity manager who spent four years as state housing and economic development secretary under Gov. Charlie Baker, declared his candidacy for governor on Monday and said Massachusetts is 'heading in the wrong direction.' Jumping into the ring against Gov. Maura Healey, who plans to seek reelection in 2026, Kennealy released a launch video Monday morning. He pointed to rising expenses, education, the emergency family shelter crisis and outmigration as key areas where the Bay State is struggling. 'The political class on Beacon Hill is more concerned with their future than with ours. Our beacon on a hill has become a beacon in the rearview mirror,' Kennealy said in the video. 'The people of Massachusetts expect and deserve better.' Although the press release announcing Kennealy's campaign launch made no mention of his party affiliation, a spokesperson confirmed he is running as a Republican. Other Republicans mentioned as potential candidates for governor include Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis, former MBTA Chief Administrator Brian Shortsleeve, former U.S. Senate candidate John Deaton, and Sen. Peter Durant, who said last month he would make his decision 'relatively shortly.' Kennealy spent nearly two decades working in private equity before joining the public sector in 2013 as part of the leadership team that worked on turning around Lawrence Public Schools, according to his campaign. He became an assistant secretary under Baker, and rose to the Cabinet-level role of housing and economic development secretary in December 2018. Healey, who succeeded Baker, later split that job into two separate positions of housing secretary and economic development secretary. Kennealy stayed in that job for the remainder of Baker's tenure through 2022, helping to lead the state's response to the economic upheaval inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following his time on Beacon Hill, Kennealy worked as senior advisor and chief strategy officer at the Boys and Girls Club of Boston. His campaign appears poised to spotlight affordability issues, a steady theme on Beacon Hill for Healey and the House and Senate Democratic supermajorities. Kennealy named 'a state we can all afford' as his top priority, followed by 'a great future for everyone' and 'government we can believe in.' Healey in February announced her intention to seek reelection, saying she believes 'there's a heck of a lot more to do.' Massachusetts voters over the years have elected a succession of Republican governors while preferring to keep Democrat supermajorities in the House and Senate, as well as an all-Democrat congressional delegation. A UMass Amherst-WCVB poll of Massachusetts voters conducted in mid-February found about 52% approve of Healey's job performance so far compared to 36% who disapprove. Pollsters also asked at the time about hypothetical matchups between Healey and potential Republican challengers, including Kennealy. Four in 10 voters said they'd back Healey over Kennealy, 15% said they would pick Kennealy, and another 39% were not sure. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
