A $98.5 Million Deal Has Been Agreed Between Red Sox And…
The manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora, has said that Jarren Duran will bat first for Boston this year.
According to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald, Duran stayed modest and concentrated on his position in the next Red Sox season after receiving Cora’s vote of confidence.
Starr reported that Duran remarked, “That’s awesome to hear, but I just can’t be satisfied still.” “I will continue to present myself here as though I am unemployed. I was not raised to take things for granted, that’s just not how I’m wired.”
In the leadoff position, Duran frequently converted singles into doubles before needing season-ending toe surgery in August of last year.
According to footage released by the organization, Cora told reporters at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, “Obviously, we need him healthy out there every day.” “That’s my guy, if he’s healthy.”
Prior to his injury, Duran had a season in which he pounded.295/.346/.482, with 98 hits, 34 doubles, eight home runs, and 24 stolen bases. He slashed.319/.356/.567 at leadoff last year, with 16 doubles, two triples, and five home runs, according to Tyler Milliken of 98.5 The Sports Hub.
The quick outfielder’s stance toward a guaranteed roster berth doesn’t seem to have changed since last autumn.
