The Boston Red Sox have come to an agreement with outfielder Jarren Duran on a one-year contract for the 2025 season, which includes a club option for 2026. The deal is valued at $3.85 million for the upcoming season, helping both parties avoid a potentially contentious arbitration hearing. Duran was seeking $4 million, while the team offered $3.5 million.

His new contract could see Duran earning as much as $12 million if he wins the MVP award, as the option price increases based on his performance metrics. The terms of the deal were seen as a strategic move by the Red Sox, given Duran's recent MVP-caliber season that included impressive stats, such as leading MLB in doubles and triples.
