The main character is Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet. It is the first starter that Boston has traded four prospects to the Chicago White Sox last winter.
He started the opening game against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on the 28th of last month (Korea time), giving up five hits and two walks in five innings, striking out four and allowing two runs. Although he did not become a winning pitcher, it was evaluated that he showed his presence in his first appearance in the transfer as the team won 5-2. Crochet showed his powerful pitching by mainly throwing his main weapon, the cutter, and a four-seam fastball of up to 97.5 miles.

MLB.com said on the 1st that Crochet, who has now pitched in one game since moving to Boston, has agreed to a six-year, $170 million (about 250.2 billion won) contract, adding that the contract period is 2026-2031 and can exercise the opt-out right after the 2030 season. 'From 2027 to 2031, we receive up to $2 million in bonuses each year depending on the results of the Cy Young Award voting, and $2 million in transfer bonuses if traded during the contract period,' the report said.
It means an annual salary of $28.33 million, and some say it is too much treatment for a pitcher who has only played a full-time rotation for one season. In other words, it is not yet known whether he is a long-running starter.
MLB.com added that it is the largest contract for a fourth-year pitcher ever. The previous record is $137.5 million for five years, which Jacob deGrom signed in March 2019 when he was with the New York Mets. At that time, deGrom was the best ace in existence, playing four full-time rotations, including the 2018 NL Cy Young Award.
Crochet, who will be eligible for FA after the 2026 season, expressed skepticism at the last appearance of the exhibition game, saying, `I want the contract to be completed before the start of the season, but I don't think the extension contract will be completed.' However, as the two sides actively negotiated ahead of the opening of the season, they exchanged conditions and finally paid off.
MLB.com commented that `From Pedro Martinez to Kurt Schilling, John Leicester to Chris Sale, Boston had famous aces of the 21st century, and now Crochet is about to rise to that rank and become part of the World Series with the Red Sox.'

However, he had Tommy John Surgery on his left elbow in April 2022 and underwent rehabilitation for more than a year, returned in May last year to adapt again, and was able to return at the end of the season after more than three months of rehabilitation with a left shoulder injury in a month.
It was last year that Crochet was in the spotlight from major clubs. He played a full-time rotation for the first time, and was selected as an All-Star, and he could compete for the Cy Young Award if he did not manage the number of pitches in the second half. He started 32 games and pitched 146 innings with a 6-12 record, 3.58 ERA, 209 strikeouts, 33 walks, WHIP 1.07, and a 0.222 hit rate.
Crochet has completed four seasons thanks to his injury career and major league regulations, but he has never filled the regular innings. At the height of trade rumors last summer, he said `If you don't give me an extension, I won't throw in the postseason"It caused controversy by making a bombshell remark.
