The Boston Red Sox have not been able to rely on Triston Casas to play anything close to a full season of baseball since his 2023 rookie season, and his long-term injuries have resuled in some folk hero-esque success stories. Abraham Toro was Boston's unexpected first baseman in 2025, and he had some highlight reel moments at a position he'd never played long-term before.
The Kansas City Royals took note of his success, and signed him to a minor league contract on December 19. Toro, who signed the day before his 29th birthday, will get an invite to big league spring training as part of his deal.
