Red SOX asked the blockbuster extension with a 25-year-old

The Boston Red Sox currently have a clear need, since the regular season of the Major League Baseball 2025 is shortly before the start.

Boston has done pretty much everything right in the past few months. The Red Sox did not make the playoffs in 2024 and the front office said they would be aggressive and that was exactly what they did. The Red Sox look more like the old teams and if everything goes there, he could be at the head of the American League East in 2025. Boston is so good on paper.

But the front office shouldn’t take a break yet. The Red Sox acquired Garrett Crochet and since then there has been a lot of chattering from his warehouse and the Boston Front Office about a possible expansion. Will the Red Sox complete a deal before the opening day? Sean McAdam from Masslive.com suggested that this should be the case.

“But apart from the fact that some injured players have become healthy and resolved the Rafael -Devers chaos, the team should concentrate on another project for the next few weeks: to negotiate a contract extension with Garrett Crochet,” said McAdam. “The trade last December was a bold stroke for the organization and landed the number 1 starter that they had taken for so long. But that was only half of the task. Next he guarantees that he heard after 2026.

It is easy to believe that with two years of control it has enough time to complete a deal. But as soon as the season begins, it becomes far more difficult – and possibly distracted – to reach an agreement on an extension. Then, after this season, Crochet will be for 12 months from the Free Agency and may try to see what he can get on the open market. The Red Sox cannot allow that. Is there a certain risk of giving someone an expansion that no longer thrown 150 innings in one season? Naturally.”

McAdam is absolutely right. Both sides have shown at least one openness to a possible deal. Now you just have to do something.
