Baseball Pitcher Jhoan Manuel Duran shares three children with his wife, Aida Duran.

Jhoan Duran put the baseball world on notice and made everyone refresh their social media feeds with one moment of embrace on Tuesday, July 29, 2026.

The hard-throwing Twins of trade deadline rumors and appeared to confirm those suspicions when he was spotted by TV cameras hugging the team’s bullpen catcher, Frank Nigro, at Target Field during Minnesota’s game against the Red Sox.

Not long after the video went viral, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that Duran had not been traded and that “he was just hugging his bullpen catcher because that’s what friends do sometimes.”

With less than 48 hours to go until the deadline arrives, Duran is still a Twin.

But with Minnesota at 51-55, they’re likely fully-on sellers, meaning a reliever such as Duran, who has two more years of team control, is a big prize in this year’s market that could fetch the Twins a solid return.

One National League scout told Jon Heyman this week that out of the available relievers on the market, they would rank Duran first on a list of 10 other relievers, which also included the righty’s teammate, Griffin Jax.
