Boston Red Sox, pitcher Garrett Crochet agree to $170M extension

On March 31, 2025, the Boston Red Sox and left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet, 25, agreed to a six-year, $170 million contract extension, according to ESPN, updated at 10:36 PM EDT.
The Red Sox acquired Crochet in December 2024 via a blockbuster trade with the Chicago White Sox, sending four prospects to Chicago.
The contract extension, starting in 2026, includes an opt-out clause after the 2030 season and can reach a maximum value of $180 million with escalators.
This contract guarantees Crochet the most money ever for a pitcher with four-plus years of service, surpassing Jacob deGrom's five-year, $137.5 million contract with the New York Mets in 2019.
Crochet, who will earn $3.8 million this year, made his Red Sox debut on March 27, 2025, against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, pitching five innings, allowing two runs, striking out four, and walking two, in a 5-2 Red Sox victory.
