The former Chicago White Sox ace will now become the main man in Alex Cora&#8217;s rotation and hopefully, he&#8217;ll be able to help this ball club get back to the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>While he&#8217;s yet to throw a pitch in a Red Sox uniform, the two sides have had discussions about a long-term deal, with Crochet set to be a free agent in 2027. The left-hander spoke on those talks Saturday and made it clear he&#8217;d be interested in staying on Boston for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>Via Chris Cotillo:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been conversations with my agent and the front office, just kind of getting a feel for one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Boston Red Sox NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cStaying in Boston long-term is something that has a lot of merit in my mind and something I think would be awesome. In the meantime, I&#8217;m just focusing on spring and getting ready for the upcoming season, trying to stay focused one day at a time. When something&#8217;s presented, then we&#8217;ll attack it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last season was Crochet&#8217;s first as a full-time starter, but he put up impressive numbers. The 25-year-old posted a 3.58 ERA in 32 starts, striking out 209 hitters in 146 innings of work. His 6-12 record isn&#8217;t exactly spectacular, but that&#8217;s more because the White Sox were atrocious and couldn&#8217;t provide him with run support.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago did limit his innings towards the end of the campaign, but the Red Sox will likely allow Crochet to pitch every fifth day and get even more comfortable as a starting pitcher. He joins a rotation consisting of Brayan Bello, Walker Buehler, Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford, and Lucas Giolito. Boston could go with a six-man rotation, but it remains to be seen if that&#8217;ll be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, they will be expecting big things out of Crochet and if he does pitch well, it wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to see him ink a new deal.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garrett Crochet gave his honest thoughts about signing a potential contract extension with the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":25090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1466],"class_list":["post-25089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-garrett-crochet"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
