Jarren Duran's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Outfielder Jarren Duran and the Boston Red Sox agreed to a one-year, $3.85 million deal on Friday to avoid salary arbitration, according to sources. The deal also includes a team option for $8 million for the 2026 season. The Red Sox initially filed at $3.5 million in arbitration, with Duran asking for $4 million, but the two sides will now avoid going to trial. Depending on where the 28-year-old rising star finishes in the American League MVP voting this year, his club option in 2026 could rise to $12 million. Duran was in the first of four arbitration years and has an extra year of eligibility due to Super 2 status. The former seventh-round pick in 2018 out of Cal State Long Beach built on an impressive 2023 campaign to hit .285/.342/.492 with 21 homers, 75 RBI and 34 steals in 160 games. He led the league in doubles (48) and triples (14) and is RotoBaller's No. 22 overall fantasy player heading into spring training.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran had a monster game Monday as his team fell to the Toronto Blue Jays 7-3. Batting from the leadoff spot, Duran went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a two-run home run in Monday's loss. The 27-year-old has been solid all year for the Red Sox but has been scorching hot lately. In his last seven games, he has been slashing .417/.517/1.000 with three homers, five RBI, eight runs, five walks, and a stolen base. Duran will be a key player as the Red Sox hope to secure an AL Wild Card spot.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran had a solid overall offensive performance in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros. Duran went 4-for-4 with two singles, a double, a two-run home run, three runs scored, and a walk. The 27-year-old put the Red Sox ahead for good, taking an eighth-inning Kaleb Ort fastball to the opposite field, putting it in the Crawford boxes. Duran has been a five-category fantasy contributor this season, slashing .292/.350/.511 with 17 HR, 87 runs scored, 64 RBI, and 31 stolen bases in 576 plate appearances. He should continue to help fantasy managers down the stretch, especially if the Red Sox continue to produce overall offensively.
