The Red Sox have their ace in place, and the team did not pinch pennies when it came to keeping Garrett Crochet in Boston.

Baseball is back! Here's what to know about the 2025 Red Sox -- from who's playing to where to watch the games.

Days after making his first start for Boston, pitcher Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox agreed on a six-year, $170 million contract extension.

The Boston Red Sox finally did what everybody surrounding the team has been thinking by locking down southpaw starter Garrett Crochet to a six-year, $170 million contract that starts in 2026. Boston went out this offseason and acquired Crochet via trade with the Chicago White Sox after he had a stellar year in his first season as a starter.

Story is 2 for 15 (.133) with one walk and six strikeouts, and has been chasing pitches all over — and outside — the strike zone.

The Red Sox opened their great expectations, 2025 season with three losses in four games in Texas and will be in last place in the American League East when they play in Baltimore Monday.

Breaking down what the extensions for Crochet, Raleigh, Tanner Bibee, Brandon Pfaadt and Alejandro Kirk might mean for similar players.

Crochet's extension passes Jacob deGrom's contract with the Mets as the largest ever signed by a pitcher who has played four or more seasons in MLB. New York signed deGrom in 2018 to five-years and $137 million.

The Sox were held to five hits and were hitless in 12 at-bats with runners in scoring position. They left 10 runners on base.
