Poll: Will the Red Sox expand Garrett crochet this spring?

The Red Soxes are the biggest offseason this winter, after a failed pursuit Juan Soto It started things seriously by having a massive deal with White Sox, where they sent multiple top prospects to Chicago in exchange for the club’s left-handed pitcher. That Garrett Crochet I thought of it naturally Chris Sales Swap nearly a decade ago, but one of the main differences between the two deals is the number of team control: when the Red Sox acquired him, sales were locked in for three seasons, while crochet had only two years of team control left .

Given their deep influence, potential talent at the top is just starting to reach the major leagues, so a shorter window of team control could cause problems for the Red Sox. If crochet doesn’t stay in Boston after the 2026 season, then he might just be with something like Roman Anthony,,,,, Christian Campbelland Marcelo Mayer Before the club, the club will be vacant again at the top of the rotation. Fortunately, for Boston fans, extension seems to have a shared interest. Crochet talked about the extended status talks with the club last month and highlighted the appeal of the idea of ​​staying in Boston for a long time is reportedly in contact with his camp with the possibility of delays.

Of course, the common interests of extension do not always lead to transactions, and the feeling of crochet may also change. According to Masslive’s Chris Cotillo, who was asked about the possibility of a delay last week, seemed to spend his time more openly: “I think long-term safety is absolutely attractive. As players, we like to look for our family first. However, since last year was my first start flavor, part of me also wanted to see what I could do throughout the entire local workload season. [I] On a short belt. I think part of me wants to see what I can do throughout the season and lock myself in a certain player. ”

Crochet and clubs still need to sort the appropriate value of the deal, and given the extremely unusual career path of crochet, this can be very difficult. Although he spent most of his time in the SEC, the White Sox ranked 11th in the 2020 draft, and crochets threw in the bullpen in the SEC, but crochets were a Relief and brought straight to the major league game and stood out in a phenomenon of 2.54 ERA. 60 1/3 of the Institution worked for Chicago from 2020 to 2021. At the time, the club seemed to be focusing on the crochet spin role in 2022, but he underwent surgery by Tommy John in April and didn’t pitch again in the profession until very late. In the 2023 season.

By then, the White Sox had begun rebuilding. There is little reason not to explore crochet, so he stretched out throughout the winter and was taken as the opening day for the club’s first career start last year. The left-handed started 32 times last year, but his career maximum workload was almost 146 innings. The White Sox managed his innings carefully throughout the season to keep him healthy, and he shot only 44 2/3 innings in total in his last 14 games, with less than 3 1/3 innings per inning. Lack of numbers could cause some questions about crochet ability to keep healthy while dealing with traditional introductory workloads, especially given that he was only 3.00 in the first half of the season, while the second half of the season swelled his time to 4.84.

These potential workload issues may lead to Boston’s willingness to provide advanced assurance for crochet, although his basic numbers indicate that the ceiling matches the game’s best starting pitcher. Crochet’s 2.69 FIP will only lag behind Cy Young scholarship winner Chris Sale and Tarik Skubal If he had enough situations to qualify, and his stunning 35.1% strikeout rate would have resulted in all starters last year or even 20 innings. It is also worth noting that crochets can’t celebrate his 26th birthday until halfway through the 2025 season, and youngsters can help alleviate Boston’s concerns about his long-term prospects in health and durability.

With so many competitive factors to consider, it is fair to think that crochet is one of the most difficult players to determine value. By last summer’s deal deadline, the report shows that crochets can be viewed Tyler Glasnow$136.5mm guaranteed with the Dodgers as the goal of promotion negotiations, although MLBTR’s Anthony Franco discussed Glasnow’s service time when trading with Los Angeles for 6 years in a post by front-end subscribers in August. Crochet is difficult to reach the same height. If that’s still the asking price of crochet, the Red Sox might prefer to play the club’s first season later this year or next offseason game and revisit negotiations. That being said, the big season of crochet will surely raise his asking price significantly. This is especially true if he manages to stay healthy and qualify for the Times title this year.

How do MLBTR readers think that the situation between Crochet and the Red Sox will work? Will they extend it before the opening day? Or will Red Sox wait to see how crochet with the club in his first season in Boston before deciding? There is a say in the following polls:
