The Boston Red Sox made a significant trade by acquiring Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox during the 2025 Winter Meetings, sending four promising prospects in return. After Crochet held back from a full pitching workload in 2024 due to contract concerns, securing a long-term deal quickly became a priority for Boston. Although Crochet expressed interest in staying, his comments suggest he may prefer to prove his value further before signing, creating uncertainty for the Red Sox as they navigate this potential extension amid high expectations from fans.
As players, we like to look out for our family first. But with last year being my first taste of starting, part of me also wants to see what I could do with the full season of innings workload.
If the Sox could get him to sign before the season started and before he could flash any improvements from last season, they'd be able to hold onto him for much less money.
Extending Crochet immediately became a priority for the Red Sox. After trading four top prospects, they must make the deal worth it by inking the 25-year-old long-term.
Comments from Garrett Crochet show an extension with the Red Sox is not guaranteed before the 2025 season.
