Editor’s Note: This story contains a description of a suicide attempt / of suicide.

The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees have been rivals for decades. But some things are bigger than baseball.

Three weeks after Netflix debuted the Red Sox documentary in which Jarren Duran opens up about his 2022 suicide attempt, a fan — according to a source who was close to the dugout — at Progressive Field told the Red Sox outfielder to, “Go (expletive) kill yourself” on Sunday.

Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge was asked about the situation and called Duran a “tremendous athlete.” The two represented the American League during the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.

“We all go through our struggles in life, our ups and downs. For Jarren to prevail and still be doing what he loves to do, I definitely feel for what he’s gone through and what he had to go through on Sunday,” Judge told NJ.com. “You can boo and you can say whatever you want about performance, but what happened in Cleveland is taking it too far.”

Duran has been open about his mental health and the struggles he’s gone through since 2022. The 28-year-old said after Boston’s 13-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians that Sunday’s comment was the first time since “The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox” was released.

“When you open yourself up like that, you’re also opening yourself up to the enemies,” Duran said. “But I have a good support staff around me — teammates, coaches and fans that were supporting me. So that was awesome.”

If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, you are not alone.
