LOS ANGELES – Carl Crawford admitted that “I was chasing a big contract” when he signed with the Red Sox two years ago, but when asked about whether he regretted the decision he said, “No, I don’t regret nothing. At the time I thought it was the right decision.”

Crawford met with the Los Angeles media for the first time since he was traded on Aug. 25 along with Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett for prospects. Crawford had Tommy John surgery the day after the deal and never showed up to L.A.
