The Boston Red Sox and All-Star outfielder Jarren Duran have avoided salary arbitration, agreeing to a one-year contract for the 2025 season.

Star outfielder Jarren Duran and the Boston Red Sox avoided arbitration when they agreed Friday to a one-year contract guaranteeing $3.85 million, a deal that includes an $8 million team option for 2026.

One week after causing a stir by failing to come to terms on a salary with star outfielder Jarren Duran following his breakout season, the Red Sox avoided arbitration with him.

The Red Sox will not go to arbitration with any of their players this year after agreeing to terms with lefty Garrett Crochet ($3.8 million) and righties Tanner Houck ($3.95 million) and Kutter Crawford ($2.75 million). They haven’t gone to a hearing since beating Eduardo Rodriguez in one in 2020.

Jarren Duran reportedly landed a $3.85 million contract from the Boston Red Sox to avoid arbitration on Friday.

The Red Sox on Friday reached a one-year deal with outfielder Jarren Duran, avoiding an arbitration hearing after the Sox had filed at $3.5 million and Duran at $4 million. Duran’s deal is worth $3.75 million for 2025 and includes a club option for $8 million in 2026 with a $100,000 buyout.
