OTM Open Thread 3/4: It is Monday

Related Topics: Kutter Crawford

Happy Monday. Matt Chapman signed with the San Francisco Giants to something more akin to a pillow contract with quick opt-outs. The Boras pitchers remain unemployed.

And there is a development at the Red Sox camp:

Kutter Crawford hit 97 on the gun in his start today. He said he added 8-10 lbs and it’s only made him feel stronger.

Last year, his 4-seamer averaged 93.6.

Houck has apparently seen the biggest velo jump in camp (per Cora). Touched 97 yesterday as well.pic.twitter.com/uWNfKkSIeR— Tyler Milliken u26beufe0f (@tylermilliken_) March 4, 2024
