""I know when it came out a lot of people were looking [at it] as greedy...I didn't, by no means, feel like I was demanding it because I wanted money...""
""It was more so in the fact that I was establishing myself as a starter and kind of getting away from the idea that teams viewed me as a potential high-end reliever.""
Garrett Crochet, recently traded to the Boston Red Sox from the Chicago White Sox, is seeking a long-term contract extension as he transitions to a full-time starter role. Despite previous skepticism about his abilities, he successfully pitched 146 innings in 2024 after moving from bullpen duties. His plea for a contract has been perceived as greedy, but Crochet clarifies that his demand stems from establishing himself as a starter rather than just seeking financial security. He also emphasized the importance of his health in achieving this milestone, noting his past injuries.
