"In 2025, Contreras slashed .257/.344/.447 with 20 home runs in 563 plate appearances, along with a 25.2 K% and 7.8 BB%. Those 563 plate appearances were the most in a single season of his career. Contreras has hit the 20-home run mark six times in his 10 year career,"
"It's also unclear what will happen to Triston Casas, who played in just 29 games last season before injury. It was the second consecutive season where more than half of it was spent on the shelf, as the first baseman played just 63 games in 2024. In his one and only healthy season back in 2023, Casas slashed .263/.367/.490 with 24 home runs in 502 plate appearances."
The Boston Red Sox acquired Willson Contreras from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Hunter Dobbins, Yhoiker Farjado, and Blake Aita while the Cardinals sent $8 million to cover part of Contreras' contract. Contreras, originally a catcher, has primarily played first base the past three seasons. In 2025 he slashed .257/.344/.447 with 20 home runs in a career-high 563 plate appearances, posting a 25.2% strikeout rate and 7.8% walk rate. Contreras has reached 20 homers six times in 10 seasons. Triston Casas' future is uncertain after limited games and injuries over multiple seasons. Dobbins had a 4.13 ERA in 61 MLB innings, while Farjado and Aita remain unranked on the team's top prospect list.
