Garrett Crochet, a left-handed pitcher for the Red Sox, is open to negotiating a contract extension, aiming for a decision before Opening Day. He insists that once the season begins, contract discussions should pause to avoid distractions. This sentiment reflects a common practice among athletes, as seen previously with Xander Bogaerts. Despite earlier statements suggesting he wouldn't be distracted by negotiations, Crochet now emphasizes his desire to concentrate fully on the season ahead, expressing a commitment to dedicate himself entirely to the team's success without the burden of potential future contracts.
"For me personally, once the season starts, I would like for whatever conversations are currently being had to be placed on the back burner until the following offseason."
"I want to give everything I have to this season and not have to worry about potential implications that happen in the long term."
