Will Red Sox trade Triston Casas in deal for two-time All-Star?

The Boston Red Sox believed that Triston Casas would be the first baseman of the future for the team, but that might not be the case. 

Casas has had a slow start to the 2025 season, slashing .184/.279/.585 with three home runs and 11 RBIs. The 25-year-old is one of only two first basemen on the Red Sox's roster, and with his below-average play so far this season, the team may part ways with him. 

Talk Sox's Alex Mayes predicts that Boston will part ways with Casas, and potentially trade him as part of a package for Miami Marlins ace pitcher Sandy Alcántara.

"It seems, though, through watching reactions of his coaches and teammates, that his personality has worn a bit thin to those have daily interactions with him. From the eye-rolling to the snide comments after he walks away, it’s become pretty clear that he likely isn’t long for the Boston Red Sox. Casas seems to have turned a corner with some changes in his hitting approach, but Alex Cora still obviously doesn’t trust him against left-handed pitching."

"Even if Casas comes screaming back to life from now until the deadline, look for the front office to shop him as part of a trade package that lands the team another starting pitcher. Miami has long had interest in his services and they have an All-Star caliber starting pitcher still on the roster."

Alcántara isn't having the best start to the season, but he is a two-time All-Star and former Cy Young Award winner. The Red Sox's rotation has a true ace in Garrett Crochet and is finally getting healthy, but trading Casas for Alcántara, who is under team control through the 2027 season, would still be a great move.
