Fan at Tropicana Field makes Red Sox negotiate for Triston Casas’ first home run ball

Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas hit his first MLB home run on Tuesday, launching a pitch from Garrett Cleavinger into the right-field seats.

The homer traveled 371 feet — just 96.1 mph off Casas’ bat with a 36-degree launch angle.

Here’s a look at the blast.

Casas was a highly anticipated prospect who recorded his first hit in his major-league debut on Sunday.

The real drama, however, began after Casas’ homer when the Red Sox began bartering with the fan in right field who came up with the ball, hoping to acquire the little piece of history for their talented prospect.
