Red Sox, Garrett Crochet reportedly unlikely to reach extension agreement ahead of Opening Day deadline

Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox seem to be on track to play out the 2025 season before potentially hammering out a long-term contract agreement.

An extension agreement between the star pitcher and the Red Sox ahead of Crochet’s self-imposed Opening Day deadline is viewed as “less than likely,” MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reported. Additionally, there’s also a “large gap” between the two parties in trying to get a deal, Cotillo added.

Crochet, who is under team control through the end of the 2026 season, has shared a willingness to sign an extension after the Red Sox traded for him in December.
