Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox have been in talks about a potential contract extension pretty much ever since the franchise traded for the left-handed ace.<\/p>\n

But those talks could go silent soon with a deadline to strike a deal on the horizon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversation we\u2019ve had is just Opening Day,\u201d Crochet told WEEI\u2019s Rob Bradford.<\/p>\n

Crochet added: \u201cI would rather not (talk contract during the season). I feel like it could be a distraction for myself and I don\u2019t exactly want to be in the clubhouse talking about it with my teammates around me. It\u2019s one of those things where I feel like it kind of takes focus away from being where your feet are. Whether it\u2019s halfway through the year, first month of the year, or let\u2019s say we\u2019re fighting for a playoff spot and I\u2019m over here talking about me. I just don\u2019t want to take away from what the team\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crochet, 25, is on a favorable contract for the Red Sox at the moment. He\u2019s under team control for two seasons and he\u2019s set to make $3.8 million in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox certainly see Crochet as their frontline starting pitcher who can spearhead the rotation for years to come. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound lefty hasn\u2019t let any doubt crawl in about that during spring training, either. It is only exhibition games, but Crochet still has been dominant to the tune of 21 strikeouts and a 0.87 ERA across 10 1\/3 innings this spring. There\u2019s no reason to think that won\u2019t carry over once games start counting for real.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Given Crochet\u2019s potential \u2014 he spent only one season so far as a full-time starting pitcher \u2014 and what the All-Star pitcher has already displayed on the mound in his MLB career, a big payday probably is on his way in the future.<\/p>\n

That might give Crochet some pause in signing an extension at the moment with the Red Sox, especially if he\u2019s willing to bet on himself. But with his injury history \u2014 he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2022 \u2014 Crochet could always opt to take the guaranteed contract early rather than wait around.<\/p>\n

Crochet certainly has a lot to think about with only nine days until Opening Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always pros and cons to everything,\u201d Crochet told reporters in February. \u201cI think that the long-term security is definitely something attractive. As players, we like to look out for our family first. But with last year being my first taste of starting, part of me also wants to see what I could do with the full season of innings workload.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I made every start last year. Felt like I was prepared to go the distance in the second half, but was kind of on a short leash. Part of me wants to see what I could do in a full season before, I suppose, locking myself into a certain bracket of player.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
