Jarren Duran needed to be held back after a fan allegedly heckled him about suicide attempt
The Red Sox cruised to an easy win over the Guardians on Sunday, but the series win was briefly marred by the worst kind of fan behavior.
As part of the Netflix docuseries "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox," outfielder Jarren Duran opened up about his suicide attempt in 2022. He said that he wanted to share his story in order to help others. Yet, before the seventh inning at Progressive Field, someone in the crowd evidently weaponized that revelation in order to heckle the outfielder.
Duran understandably reacted because, well, he's human. Umpires and the Red Sox coaching staff had to intervene to hold Duran back.
To the credit of the Guardians fans seated in the section, they all pointed out the fan to stadium security. According to the broadcast, that fan was ejected because the remarks clearly crossed a line.
There's no excuse to speak to someone like that. Duran would stay in the game and tack on an RBI double in the ninth inning.

Trade Idea Swaps Phillies' Andrew Painter for $3.85 Million Outfielder
Trade Idea Swaps Phillies' Andrew Painter for $3.85 Million Outfielder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Philadelphia Phillies executive Dave Dombrowski has a history of being aggressive, and it's helped his teams win five pennants and two World Series over four decades. Advertisement The time has come for Dombrowski to make another win-now move, one involving a face he knows all too well. During their path to the 2018 World Series title, Dombrowski and the Boston Red Sox used a seventh-round pick on Long Beach State (Calif.) outfielder Jarren Duran. Nearly a decade later, Duran is an All-Star potentially on the verge of being traded. A reunion between Dombrowski and Duran makes sense, and it's one that Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer proposed on Wednesday. Rymer suggested the Phillies go "all-in" and trade top pitching prospect Andrew Painter, along with catcher Eduardo Tait, to the Red Sox for the speedy Duran. "Knowing how short their contention window is getting, they should arguably be looking to do exactly that sort of deal before July 31," Rymer wrote. Boston Red Sox left fielder Jarren DuranKen Blaze-Imagn Images Duran enters Wednesday hitting .273 with 17 doubles, six triples and a .743 OPS for a fourth-place Red Sox club. He has three years of team control remaining and could either replace Johan Rojas in center field or push Max Kepler out of left field. Advertisement Duran fits the Phillies, especially in a loaded lineup already featuring Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner. However, Rymer questioned whether trading the team's consensus No. 1 prospect and a projected future ace is worth it, even if it nets them Duran. "They are in win-now mode, but Painter is the heir apparent for Zack Wheeler, who isn't getting any younger," Rymer said. Painter is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA and 20-7 K-BB ratio in 17 Triple-A innings. Tait, who turns 19 in August, owns a .285 average, eight homers, 35 RBIs and a .837 OPS at Single-A Clearwater. Rymer acknowledged it's "doubtful" the Red Sox would decline that trade offer. He also looked at the flip side, questioning why the Phillies would do it. Advertisement "To trade a guy like that just to improve an already dangerous offense would be borderline wasteful," Rymer wrote of Painter.

Red Sox call up top prospect Roman Anthony 2 days after 497-foot grand slam in minors
BOSTON (AP) — Roman Anthony was in Worcester, waiting for the 275-mile bus ride that would take him to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for his next Triple-A game, when WooSox manager Chad Tracy told the team their departure would be delayed because someone might need to head an hour east to Boston instead. 'I didn't really think anything of it, to be honest,' Anthony told reporters in the Red Sox dugout at Fenway Park before making his major league debut Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. 'I was just kind of waiting around in the food room with a few of the guys, and then all of a sudden he came out and just said, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues,'' Anthony said. 'From there on out it's kind of been a little bit of a blur. But it was amazing. You dream of that every single day. So, to finally hear it was definitely awesome.' Anthony, who played right field and batted fifth, received the biggest cheer of all during pregame introductions and then a standing ovation when he came to bat in the second inning, with a runner on first and nobody out. He popped up to left field and got another cheer as he returned to the dugout. A 21-year-old second-round draft pick who went viral over the weekend when he hit a 497-foot grand slam in Worcester, Anthony was the top-rated prospect in the minors before his call-up. He batted .288 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 58 games in Triple-A this season. His accomplishments in the minors had Red Sox fans clamoring for his call-up, especially with the team languishing in fourth place in the AL East, 8 1/2 games behind the rival New York Yankees. But while fellow prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer got the call, the Red Sox remained patient on Anthony until an injury to Wilyer Abreu left them needing another outfielder. 'It's been a long time coming,' said Mayer, who was called up about two weeks ago. 'It's been talked about for a very long time, and it's kind of crazy that today's the day that we're all going to share the field together in the big leagues. I'm super excited. I think we have a really good team, and he's just another great addition to that.' Cora said he noticed something was wrong with Abreu after Sunday's game against the Yankees. When the team realized it would be more than a day or two, they decided to make the move and put Abreu on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. The Red Sox made room for Anthony on the 40-man roster by designating first baseman/outfielder Ryan Noda for assignment. 'We're trying to win ballgames,' Cora said. 'The kid has done an amazing job getting ready for this moment. We're excited. It's a big day for the organization.' Anthony was perhaps known only to the most dedicated fans before his homer on Saturday that was the longest measured this year by Statcast, which tracks the major leagues, Triple-A and the Class A Florida State League. Since Statcast started tracking in the majors in 2015, only five home runs have gone farther, including Nomar Mazara's 505-foot shot in 2019 for the Rangers. After getting the promotion, Anthony had time to call his parents and siblings and an old baseball coach and gather most of his equipment — his own glove, a single bat and a borrowed pair of cleats — before driving down the MassPike to Boston. He arrived in Boston a few hours before game time and by 7:30 p.m. he was taking aim at the historic red seat that marks Ted Williams' 502-foot homer that is the longest ever at Fenway Park. 'It happened quick. I think no matter when that call comes, nobody's really expecting it,' he said before the game. 'Obviously a little bit of a short notice. But, you know, better than being on the bus to Lehigh Valley right now.' ___ AP MLB:

Roman Anthony's Immediate Reaction to Red Sox Call-Up
Roman Anthony's Immediate Reaction to Red Sox Call-Up originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox (32-35) are experiencing a feel-good stretch after a rough start to the season. Not only did they win their road series vs. their arch-rival New York Yankees (39-25) over the weekend, but they also called up baseball's No. 1 prospect on Monday, via MassLive's Christopher Smith. Advertisement Boston took outfielder Roman Anthony No. 79 overall in the 2022 MLB Draft and promoted him to Single-A Salem in his first season. The organization then sent the Florida native to High-A Greenville and later to Double-A Portland in 2023. He was named the Red Sox minor-league hitter of the year after hitting .294 with 12 homers, 38 RBI, and 41 runs scored across 54 games with Greenville. The team then sent Anthony to Triple-A Worcester in August 2024 and invited him to spring training before this season. The 6-foot-3-inch, 200-pounder hit .288 with 10 homers, 29 RBI, and a .914 OPS across 58 games at Worcester this year before finally getting his big-league call-up. Anthony delivered a quick message en route to Boston on Monday, via MassLive's Katie Morrison-O'Day. Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (48)© Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images "Yeah," he said when O'Day asked if he was "headed up" to the majors. Advertisement Anthony has a career minor-league slash line of .285/.402/.477 with 42 homers and 170 RBI over 303 contests. The Red Sox have won two straight games and are 5-5 in their last 10. They're four games out of a Wild Card spot and are 8.5 games behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East. Boston will next host the Tampa Bay Rays (35-30) before rematching New York.
