"Triston Casas was once projected to be a key cog in the Red Sox' next wave of top young talent. But, after breaking through with a 23-homer season in 2023, the power-hitting first baseman has seen his career derailed by injuries and a sizable dip in production. He has appeared in just 92 total games over the last two seasons, batting .222 with 16 home runs and 43 RBI over that stretch."
"Given Boston's clear need for some pop at the plate, it should come as little surprise that the Red Sox have been linked to free-agent sluggers like Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, and first baseman Pete Alonso. Alonso, who has averaged 42 home runs and 114 RBI over his seven seasons with the Mets, would be a potential replacement at first for Casas, even if signing Alonso would require a hefty new contract doled out in free agency."
""We gotta get him healthy," Cora said on "Foul Territory." "I think Triston is a big part of what we're trying to accomplish, but we gotta get him healthy. ... We're not giving up on him, but we know he hasn't been healthy throughout his career. So, that's very important.""
Triston Casas broke out with 23 home runs in 2023 but has been limited by injuries and declining production since. Over the past two seasons he has appeared in 92 games, hitting .222 with 16 homers and 43 RBI, and he suffered a season-ending ruptured patellar tendon on May 2 after a slow start. At 25, he still projects as a patient hitter with power. Boston, fresh off a 2025 playoff berth, faces a short-term contention window and has pursued power via free agents such as Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, and Pete Alonso. The club insists getting Casas healthy is a priority while offseason roster choices may hinge on his recovery.
