The Red Sox have not been able to come to terms with outfielder Jarren Duran to this point and it remains possible that they go to an arbitration hearing with him. The sides had a soft 1 p.m. ET deadline to agree to terms but negotiations may continue up until 8 p.m. ET, when they\u2019d have to file arbitration numbers with the league.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5T4IHFTY6FHJJHJH6UYJKCXUQ4\">So far, Crochet\u2019s agreement is the most notable for Boston. The lefty, who was acquired in a five-player blockbuster deal with the White Sox last month, was somewhat hard to value because the early part of career has been a unique one, including a dominant first season as a starter in 2025. He received more ($3.9 million) than his projected salary (via MLBTradeRumors) of $2.9 million. It could be seen as a show of good faith by the Red Sox, who want to sign Crochet (under control for two years) to a long-term extension and have already begun preliminary efforts to that end.<\/p>\n<p id=\"34WNN6AHGFBTFDVZ2DRLXIWQB4\">Houck, arbitration-eligible for the first time after a career season, got $3.95 million, a tick lower than his MLBTR projection of $4.5 million. He\u2019s under team control for three more years. Duran and Crawford are both Super Two players who were rewarded a fourth arbitration year due to service time. Crawford was projected to take home $3.5 million; his real salary came in lower than that. Duran\u2019s projection was $4.9 million but no deal is done yet. Both players are under Red Sox control through 2028.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EX33ZSSXXZFUPMJKYRYETFDNLU\">Any agreements do not mean the Red Sox can\u2019t work on long-term extensions with the players who signed them. Crochet is a clear priority in that regard and Houck, Crawford and Duran are all candidates for long-term deals before spring training. Talks can happen at any time. Thursday\u2019s agreements can be ripped up if a longer-term deal includes a greater 2025 salary and the Red Sox, who would likely be interested in lowering the average annual value (and competitive balance tax threshold hits) over the course of a long-term deal, would be incentivized to do so.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>BETTING:<\/b><\/i><i> Check out our <\/i>MA sports betting guide<i>, where you can learn basic terminology, definitions and how to read odds for those interested in learning how to bet in Massachusetts.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Red Sox C acquired in trade with Yankees to participate in rookie program<\/li>\n<li>Did Red Sox\u2019 trades, free agent signings fix their No. 1 issue?<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox, Garrett Crochet have opened talks on contract extension<\/li>\n<li>Ex-Red Sox pitcher signs with White Sox (report)<\/li>\n<li>Why Thursday is important for Red Sox, key players like Garrett Crochet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
