Red Sox Secure LHP Garrett Crochet with $170 Million Extension

The Boston Red Sox have signed left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet to a six-year contract extension worth $170 million, beginning in the 2026 season with an opt-out clause after 2030. The 25-year-old All-Star, who posted a 3.58 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 2024, was acquired from the Chicago White Sox and made his Red Sox debut on March 27 against the Texas Rangers.

Additional reports from early April 2025 suggest that the deal may include performance-based bonuses, further underscoring the team's commitment to crochet as a key component of their pitching staff. This extension reflects Boston’s long-term strategy to build around young talent and solidify their rotation for the future.
