As the regular season approaches, the Boston Red Sox still have an important piece of business to check off. In December, the Red Sox acquired their new number-one starting pitcher, Garrett Crochet, in a trade that sent four top prospects to the Chicago White Sox.

“Crochet has expressed an interest in an extension since last summer, and the Red Sox didn’t trade the kind of prospect package they sent to the White Sox for Crochet just to watch him walk away in two years," wrote Britton. "Crochet can anchor the starting staff as Boston opens a new competitive window.”

Before he was traded from the White Sox, he was quite particular in what he wanted from his next organization.

Crochet is everything the Red Sox needed, as he is a flamethrowing southpaw that can reach 100 MPH on any given pitch and has a wipeout sweeper. The contract situation is a little bit dicey for the Red Sox as he still has two years left on his contract, but many are calling for an extension to get done ASAP.

Crochet's dominant start to his Red Sox career should have Red Sox fans clamoring for Craig Breslow and Co. to get an extension done while they still can.
