The Red Sox made a significant offseason move by trading for left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the White Sox, sparking comparisons to a past trade involving Chris Sale. A key difference lies in their contractual status, as Crochet has just two years of team control remaining compared to Sale's three. This limited window may affect the Red Sox's ability to synchronize Crochet's tenure with the emergence of their top hitting prospects. Despite ongoing extension talks, Crochet expressed a desire to showcase his full potential before committing long-term.
I think that the long-term security is definitely something attractive. As players, we like to look out for our family first.
Crochet spoke about the state of extension talks with the club last month and emphasized how appealing the idea of remaining in Boston long-term was to him.
