Crawford, who gets the same salary he had last year, 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, 29, 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 Gonzalez. Players and teams are set to exchange proposed salaries Thursday.
