After being on a “short leash” with the Chicago White Sox last season, Garrett Crochet is hoping to push the envelope with the Boston Red Sox this year.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet was named as one of the most likely MLB players to receive a new contract from his team.

Ace status is never given. It’s taken. But it sure looks like Crochet is the real deal, which should be fun for years to come.

New Red Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet addressed the media on Wednesday and touched on the topic of extension talks.

Boston Red Sox lefty Garrett Crochet addressed the possibility of signing a long-term extension for the first time since last year's trade deadline. At least for the time being, it doesn't sound like something that's high on his priority list.

After a busy offseason that saw the Boston Red Sox acquire Garrett Crochet via trade with the Chicago White Sox and Walker Buehler via free agency, the team is in a better position than it was a year ago. However, Crochet's future after the 2026 season is uncertain.

After trading four prospects for Crochet in December, the Sox would welcome a deal that goes beyond the two more seasons he has before free agency.

The Boston Red Sox' biggest goal in-house this offseason is to re-sign their new superstar ace, Garrett Crochet. However, Crochet has stated that he might want to wait a year to get another full year of starting pitching in before considering an extension (via Chris Cotillo).
