Two years ago, Triston Casas hit 24 home runs and finished third in American League Rookie of the Year voting, and it looked like the Boston Red Sox had found their first baseman for years to come.

The Cardinals are acquiring three right-handed pitching prospects from the Red Sox in a deal that will send Willson Contreras to Boston.

Contreras notched a .791 OPS with 20 homers and 80 RBIs over 135 games in 2025.

The Boston Red Sox are on the clock, and it’s getting late early when it comes to re-signing third baseman Alex Bregman. It’s no secret that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s top priority is bringing back the three-time All-Star.

Refsnyder batted .269 with nine home runs, 30 RBIs, and an .838 OPS in 70 games and 209 plate appearances this year.
