The Boston Red Sox have avoided arbitration with right-hander Kutter Crawford, agreeing to a $2.75 million deal that matches his previous salary. After struggling with injuries, including a knee issue and a serious wrist injury that required surgery, Crawford had a mixed performance in 2024, leading the majors with 34 home runs allowed. He will compete for a rotation spot in Spring Training amidst a crowded pitching competition, with several other pitchers vying for the final spots. The Red Sox have also finalized contracts with Jarren Duran and Connor Wong, while awaiting decisions on other players.
