The Boston Red Sox were off to a brutal start in 2026, but have gotten it together lately, with a record of 4-8 and dead last in the AL East. They’ve finally figured out some of their problems, and their new guys are finally getting into gear. One of those news guys is their new first baseman, Willson Contreras, who’s proved he should be the everyday guy.
With that in mind, Sports Illustrated’s Ryan Shea proposes that the Sox should finally move on from their previous first baseman in Triston Casas, and deal him to the New York Mets .

Triston Casas, despite his talent, comes with real uncertainty right now—he struggled in 2025 (.
