Garrett Crochet, a young left-handed pitcher traded to the Red Sox, seeks stability through a contract extension despite limited MLB experience. In a podcast interview, he explained that his request was not rooted in greed but rather a desire to establish himself as a starting pitcher, moving away from being seen only as a reliever. Despite public backlash, Crochet believes prioritizing his career stability is valid, especially after overcoming multiple injuries. The Red Sox support his aspirations, recognizing his potential as a starter moving forward into 2025.
Why should I jeopardize that for a team I don't really owe anything to?
I'm actually glad that you asked because I know when it came out a lot of people were looking [at it] as greedy.
Now I'm starting on a set routine and I'm feeling good every fifth day and I'm able to go out and perform.
The Red Sox appear committed to the idea of Crochet as a starter - Boston's plan for 2025 seems to at least partly revolve around it.
