Per MLB.com:

The Sox went 81-81 this season, finishing third in the American League East. They appear primed for a big offseason after failing to make the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, but if they are going to turn it around in 2025, they will Duran to put together another solid campaign.
In addition to his All-MLB selection, Duran was also named a finalist for a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glvoe Award, though he failed to win either. He is also the Red Sox nomination the "Heart & Hustle Award," which comes out on November 22.
