The Red Sox finalized a six-year, $170 million contract with pitcher Garrett Crochet, reflecting their belief in his potential as an ace. Acquired from the White Sox, Crochet's deal includes an opt-out clause after 2030. His contract marks the highest ever for a pitcher with over four years of service time, surpassing Jacob DeGrom's previous record. Despite a rocky start to the season for the Red Sox, Crochet's performance as a starting pitcher with a strong 2024 season raises hopes for the team moving forward.
Crochet's payday is by far the largest contract given to a pitcher with four-plus years of accrued service time, highlighting Red Sox's faith in him.
In an attempt to save his arm and get long-term financial security, Crochet made several unusual trade demands for any team looking to acquire him.
