Garrett Crochet, initially hesitant to negotiate during the season, made a notable exception for a $170 million extension. The agreement includes a protective clause regarding significant arm injuries that mimics past deals, specifically offering a conditional $15 million option for 2032 if Crochet is sidelined for 120 days or more. This extension is seen by Craig Breslow, the team's GM, as pivotal for the Red Sox's long-term stability and ambition for competitive success. The deal aims to improve the team's overall performance and avoid future last-place finishes.
Despite not wanting to negotiate in-season, Garrett Crochet was willing to make an exception when $170 million was put in front of him.
Breslow described this deal as 'another step in charting the course toward sustainable organizational health, toward vying for division titles, for World Series championships year over year.'
