BOSTON (AP) — Right-hander Kutter Crawford, who missed all of last season with knee and wrist injuries, avoided arbitration with the Boston Red Sox when he agreed Tuesday to a $2.75 million, one-year contract.
Crawford, 29, gets the same salary he had last year.
He went 9-16 with a 4.36 ERA in 2024, when he led the majors with 16 losses and 34 home runs allowed. He started last season on the injured list with a sore knee and had surgery in July on his right wrist.
In his career, Crawford has an 18-31 record with a 4.56 ERA.
Four Boston players remain eligible for arbitration: right-handers Tanner Houck and Johan Oviedo, first baseman Triston Casas and second baseman Romy González. Players and teams are set to exchange proposed salaries on Thursday.
