The Boston Red Sox are in early talks to extend pitcher Garrett Crochet's contract beyond 2026.

The Boston Red Sox have initiated contract extension talks with newly acquired pitcher Garrett Crochet, aiming to secure his long-term future with the team. Crochet, a promising left-handed pitcher, was traded from the White Sox during the winter. The Red Sox hope to avoid arbitration and leverage Crochet’s surplus value over the next two seasons, as he has shown top-of-the-rotation potential. Talks are preliminary, but the Red Sox are interested in locking in his services beyond his current contract, which ends in 2026.
