"What a f**** baby" - MLB fans erupt over Jarren Duran’s alleged profanity-laced outburst vs. Orioles

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran didn't have the best of times at the plate on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, and frustration seemingly got the better of the All-Star.

Trailing the Orioles 3-1 in the series decider, the Red Sox had a chance to claw back into the game with the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning. However, Duran struck out on three pitches from Rico Garcia.

As he walked back to the dugout, Duran lashed out at a fan and was allegedly seen saying:

"F*** you pu**y."

Fans slammed Duran for his alleged outburst.

"What a f*****g baby. We could’ve traded him for Joe Ryan."

"LMAO THIS GUYS SO TOUGH😂😂😂"

"Kid will never be the face of the Red Sox."

Some fans urged the Red Sox star to be more tolerant.

"Ngl I got a chuckle out of this but he needs to stop letting people get under his skin like that."

"In Jarren’s defense, maybe the heckler was a p*ssy who should indeed f*ck right off?"

Jarren Duran went 0-for-4 as the Red Sox stranded runners on base in the eighth inning. Although the hosts had a late rally in the ninth, cutting the deficit to just a run after scoring two runs, the Orioles held on for a 4-3 win to sweep Boston.

Jarren Duran receives major honor from Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate

Amid the controversy surrounding Jarren Duran, the Red Sox outfielder was honored by Boston's Triple-A affiliate, Worcester Red Sox on Wednesday. Duran was inducted into the 2025 WooSox Hall of Fame class, becoming the first active player to do so.

Duran joined J.P. Ricciardi and Janet Marie Smith to receive the honor this year. WooSox manager Chad Tracy addressed the public on Duran's behalf as the Red Sox outfielder has been with the team in New York.

"I’ve watched as all the physical skills, that we all had the privilege of watching here in Worcester, finally translate over to a major league field for everyone else to watch and be able to enjoy,” Tracy said. “He really is a joy to watch play the game of baseball and it’s my privilege and honor to make this speech on his behalf, and to welcome him into the Hall of Fame.”

The All-Star outfielder spent parts of three seasons with the minor league team from 2021 to 2023, playing 139 games with 28 home runs, 80 RBIs and 36 stolen bases.
