Garrett Crochet Signs Six-Year Extension with Red Sox

Garrett Crochet, a prominent pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, emphasizes a mindset of 'chasing greatness' with aspirations of throwing no-hitters each time he pitches. This ambition reflects his transition from a setup man to a starter and his impressive strikeout rate of 12.9 per nine innings last season. After a trade from the Chicago White Sox, Crochet signed a six-year, $170 million contract with Boston. Meanwhile, Chase Meidroth, one of the four prospects traded to the White Sox for Crochet, made an impressive MLB debut by reaching base in all four plate appearances against the Red Sox. Crochet's former team, the White Sox, suffered a record-setting 121 losses last season, facilitating his trade. Crochet's start against his former team is highly anticipated, as he continues to adjust to his role as Boston's ace, focusing on efficiency and longer outings.
