One month after chief baseball officer Craig Breslow referred to Garrett Crochet as a “bonafide ace,” the Red Sox and the starting pitcher have reportedly been in contact about a contract extension.
Crochet, 25, is under team control through the 2026 season. However, he reportedly wants to sign an extension with his new team despite having yet to throw a pitch in a Boston uniform, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam.
“The sides have already had some dialogue about a contract extension, a baseball source confirmed Wednesday, though it remains unclear if anything is close,” Cotillo wrote.
