Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas finds himself in a rather tough spot, and has for nearly two years now. Once viewed as a future piece, Casas has yet to fully figure it out at the big league level and is coming off a tough injury. The talent was still there a year ago, but perhaps this injury puts him in a weird spot with that, too.
The question for the Red Sox is whether they want to trade him. After making a move for Willson Contreras, Boston might not have much of a reason to keep Kasas on the roster.
FanSided’s Mark Powell suggested that a change of scenery could be best for both parties, proposing a deal with the Washington Nationals for Casas.
“To call Casas a star at this juncture is a bit of a stretch. However, if he can stay on the field and regain that same 20-plus power he showcased in 2023, then perhaps he could find himself again. For now, that'll likely have to happen on a losing team. So, why not the Washington Nationals? Washington's current first base options are Andrés Chaparro and Luis Garcia Jr. There's no harm in letting Casas compete,” he wrote.
Trading Casas now wouldn’t do a whole lot for the Red Sox, but it’s possible that they could get something decent in return. Sadly, the reality is that Boston wouldn’t get half of what it could’ve gotten for him a few years ago if it trades him now.
Regarding the Nationals, there’s not much of a reason not to take a chance on him.
