The Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora seem to believe they have found their clubhouse leader heading into 2025.

The Red Sox remained in contention with a dramatic, extra-inning win in Toronto that required the use of 14 position players and eight pitchers and resulted in their manager ranking it as among his favorites.

The Boston Red Sox will finish with a better record in 2024 than they did in each of their last two seasons, and a big reason for that has been the performance and durability of outfielder Jarren Duran.
