Garrett Crochet’s self-imposed Opening Day deadline to get an extension done passed without a deal. But less than a week later, Crochet and the Red Sox came to terms on a pricey extension.
The Red Sox and Crochet agreed to a six-year, $170 million extension on Monday, giving him the most guaranteed money for a player with four-plus years of service in MLB history. Of course, that kind of money played a big role in Crochet signing that extension. However, his new coaches and teammates left a strong impression on Crochet after he was traded to Boston in December.
