Following a June 24 win against the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox slugger Jarren Duran stepped in front of the cameras for a postgame interview. He was seen rocking a shirt with an expletive on it that MLB was not happy about.
MLB issued him a warning over the undershirt, which violates the league's rules. However, Duran does not plan to stop wearing the shirt and had an epic response to the warning.
"I'll just take everything off so I don't get in trouble, but that would be a fine I'd be happy to pay" - said Duran.
Trending
Duran has been a big advocate of mental health, as that is something that he has struggled with making his way to the big leagues. While the message is great, it is easy to see why MLB has an issue with this.
However, baseball fans love the message and are defending Duran. Many of them do not have any problems with what is written on the shirt.
"I don't see anything wrong with what he's wearing" - one fan said.
"Love this shirt" - said another.
"It's 2024 and MLB is scared of the f word" - wrote a fan.
During a time when mental health awareness is at an all-time high, fans love the shirt. They think the league should be worried about other things than an expletive on an undershirt.
"MLB is a complete joke" - said a fan.
"Come on now. This is an important message" - said another.
"That's about the coolest possible response" - wrote one fan.
Maybe fans will start a donation for Duran because he may need it. MLB does not mess around with its fines.
Red Sox slugger Jarren Duran has opened up about his mental health struggles before
Red Sox slugger Jarren Duran has been turning heads this season, but it was not always like that. The speedy outfielder has had his struggles while making a name for himself.
Last season, he used the message he was wearing on his undershirt on his wrist tape. It is a reminder to himself that no matter his struggles, he belongs in the majors.
Through 86 games this year, Duran has hit .283/.345/.486 with a career-high 10 home runs. His success has been vital to Boston staying in the mix in the American League East.
