The agreement is the greatest ever ever launched with more than four years of service, according to ESPN.
Crochet is the first launcher in the history of the MLB to receive a nine -digit contract while having launched less than 800 rounds. The 6 -footer 6 -inch left -handed launched only 224 career rounds.
With the White Sox, Crochet broke out on the stage as a lifter, launching in 2020 and 2021 of the enclosure of the Lights.

He missed 2022 due to Tommy John’s surgery, then returned to the enclosure of the readers in 2023. Hook went to a starter in 2024 and was an immediate success.
That season, Crochet began 32 games and had a 3.58 MPM in 146 rounds when he removed an impressive 209 strikers with his dominant quick ball. He was appointed to the American League Stars team.
However, in the past two months of last season, the hook has struggled. In his last 10 departures, his ERA was 4.83 and he launched only 31.2 rounds. Despite the end of the season difficulties, the Red Sox has always abandoned transport for the hook.

The hook started on the opening day for the Red Sox and did not make a decision in the 5-2 victory of the team against the Texas Rangers. The hook launched five rounds, granted two points deserved on five strokes and two goals on balls and withdrew four strikers.
The victory of the opening day is the only victory that the Red Sox have this season because they have lost their last four games and are 1-4 this season.
Crochet will start in the next Red Sox match against Baltimore Orioles at 6.35 p.m. Wednesday.
