Garrett Crochet expressed his appreciation for the supportive atmosphere of the Boston Red Sox during spring training after being traded from a struggling Chicago White Sox team. He felt a strong sense of belonging and camaraderie with his new teammates, noting improved communication and team bonding. Crochet, an All-Star pitcher, experienced a contrast in morale compared to his record-breaking 121-loss season in Chicago. Discussions for a potential long-term contract extension indicate his commitment to the Red Sox, aligning with fellow newcomer Alex Bregman's positive integration into the team.
"Right away, I felt like I belonged... I think that everyone is just getting along really well. The camaraderie is really good," Crochet said.
"Tons of communication from hitters and pitchers, and guys are really meshing well together. I feel like you don't get that too often at this point in the year...there's been some good overlap," Crochet added.
The sixth-year hurler and Boston have already discussed a potential contract extension that would avoid arbitration in 2026 and keep Crochet with the team long term.
Crochet's experience with the Red Sox is in line with fellow newcomer Alex Bregman's, after the veteran third baseman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with Boston this offseason.
