By now, Boston Red Sox fans are familiar with the team's glaring hole at first base. Triston Casas has long been expected to be the answer to that problem, but injuries have completely derailed a once-promising career.
After three straight years of posting a wRC+ above 120, the 25-year-old managed a paltry 56 mark in 2025 before a ruptured left patellar tendon ended his season prematurely in early May. Casas sounds convinced that he'll be ready to go come Opening Day 2026, but the Red Sox can't pencil him in as a surefire roster option, let alone the cold corner starter, at this point in time.
