Many believed the Red Sox would trade Casas so they could shift Rafael Devers to first base and sign an elite third baseman.<\/p>\n<p>However, as the situation unfolded, Alex Bregman was signed to play third base without Casas being dealt. That has left Devers to be the\u00a0everyday designated hitter. However, that does not mean the Red Sox will rule out trading Casas at the deadline.\u00a0FOX Sports&#8217; Rowan Kavner predicted\u00a0the Red Sox would trade Casas to the Seattle Mariners by the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Mariners finally deal from their pitching excess in an effort to add some much-needed pop,&#8221; wrote Kavner.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.webp?w=790&amp;f=55eab8e9d713b5530d97c1be3ac069a6 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.jpg?w=790&amp;f=55eab8e9d713b5530d97c1be3ac069a6 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.webp?w=900&amp;f=3d1fa51579f07e47f15924ccfe071596 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.jpg?w=900&amp;f=3d1fa51579f07e47f15924ccfe071596 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.webp?w=790&amp;f=55eab8e9d713b5530d97c1be3ac069a6 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.jpg?w=790&amp;f=55eab8e9d713b5530d97c1be3ac069a6 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.webp?w=450&amp;f=35adbb70b8b5159709195bd50ff24b4c 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.jpg?w=450&amp;f=35adbb70b8b5159709195bd50ff24b4c 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.webp?w=1200&amp;f=eec6798a61ad7c8cb38dfed780f9d5e9\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2617289\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2617289\/boston-red-sox-first-baseman-triston-casas.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=eec6798a61ad7c8cb38dfed780f9d5e9\" alt=\"Boston Red Sox, first baseman, Triston Casas\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\"><span id=\"short-cap-description\" class=\"cap\">SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA &#8211; JULY 28: Triston Casas #36 of the Boston Red Sox celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle&#8230;<\/span>\u00a0<button id=\"read-more-cap\">More<\/button>\u00a0<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">Lachlan Cunningham\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Mariners have a surplus of capable starting pitchers but little offensive stability. Casas could be an upgrade over Rowdy Tellez and Luke Raley at first base. Casas had a .800 OPS in 63 games last season, as he missed significant time with a rib injury. However, in 2023, he had a .263\/.367\/.490 slash line with 24 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow believes Casas is capable of a 40-home run, 120-RBI season,\u00a0according to The Boston Globe&#8217;s Alex Speier. Casas believes he can be an elite slugger for the Red Sox, but he may be forced to take his talents elsewhere if he&#8217;s traded. Regardless, whoever lands him will be getting a confident player, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that is the expectation for the first baseman of the Boston Red Sox,&#8221; Casas responded to Breslow&#8217;s confidence in him. &#8220;I think if I&#8217;m not able to do that, then I don&#8217;t deserve a job here. I don&#8217;t feel that&#8217;s out of my reach. I feel like that&#8217;s something that&#8217;s very possible for me to accomplish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He has hit 37 home runs in the last two seasons and is under club control until 2029. The Mariners could be willing to part ways with Luis Castillo, Bryce Miller or Logan Gilbert to land a young piece like Casas. He could end up becoming a key player for their future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the offseason, Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas was a common name in trade rumors.
