The Boston Red Sox made several strategic moves this offseason to enhance their chances of breaking a playoff drought. Key acquisitions include a $120 million contract for Alex Bregman and a trade for Garrett Crochet, who quickly proved valuable with a stellar pre-season performance (0.87 ERA). However, Crochet has set a contract negotiation deadline of Opening Day, expressing a desire to focus solely on the season, putting pressure on the team to finalize a long-term deal quickly before the regular season starts.
The conversation we've had (about a deadline in negotiations) is just Opening Day. I would rather not (talk about a contract during the season)... I just don't want to take away from what the team's doing.
Crochet has thus far delivered on his potential for the Red Sox, maintaining a 0.87 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 10.1 innings of spring training and earning the team's Opening Day start.
