As of January 14, 2025, there is public information indicating that the Boston Red Sox and outfielder Jarren Duran are engaged in an arbitration hearing. Duran, who had a breakout season in 2024 with an 8.7 WAR and was named MVP of the All-Star Game, is under team control and is estimated to earn $4.9 million in 2025 through arbitration.
In August 2024, Duran was suspended for two games by the Red Sox after using a homophobic slur towards a heckling fan during a game against the Houston Astros. The incident was widely reported and led to discussions about inclusivity and player conduct within Major League Baseball.
