Red Sox Announce Jarren Duran News on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Jarren Duran has been a catalyst for the Red Sox offense this season, slashing .262/.328/.462 with a .790 OPS through 450 at-bats, along with 12 home runs, 63 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 111 games played for Boston.
His 118 hits and 63 runs scored rank him among the team’s most consistent threats, and his left-field defense has drawn praise from both teammates and analysts.
Building on that performance, the Red Sox officially announced on Tuesday, “Congrats to Jarren Duran on being named our 2025 Heart & Hustle Award winner!”
Duran joins 29 other winners as each major league team announced its own award winner, including AL standouts Brent Rooker, Jackson Holliday, José Ramírez, Byron Buxton and Paul Goldschmidt, as well as NL contenders Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman.

Former players and fans will vote on the overall winner out of the 30 nominees, with the results being announced in November.
Sox Stand Firm on Dylan Cease Offer
As the July 31 trade deadline loomed, reports revealed that San Diego’s opening salvo for Duran included veteran right-hander Dylan Cease, catching prospect Ethan Salas and an additional minor-league arm, per Sean McAdam of MassLive.
Boston’s front office, however, opted for a swift no, viewing Cease as a mere rental, set to hit free agency after 2025 and expressing reluctance to part with multiple controllable assets for a short-term boost.
