In December, Chicago White Sox Pitcher Garrett Crochet traded for Boston Red Sox. Shortly after participating in Red Sox, Crochet made it clear that he was looking for a long -term contract extension from his new team.
The request raised some eyebrows, given that White Sox did not succeed in their reported attempts to move crochet before last July’s trading deadline. Crocheting was also on a lap -limitation last season, but he managed to beat 146 laps in 2024.
Crochet is expected to take the Haugen to Red Sox on opening day next month. As April approaches, the 25-year-old shares some details of what led to him being described as a “greedy” player.
