Red Sox Explore Replacements for Injured Triston Casas

The Boston Red Sox face a major setback after first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury, exposing the team's lack of depth at that position. With no clear internal replacement, several analysts suggest the Red Sox may need to pursue external options, with Washington Nationals’ Nathaniel Lowe emerging as a leading trade candidate due to his consistent offensive production and remaining team control through next season. Another potential, though less likely, option is Minnesota Twins’ Ty France, who would be a more affordable but less powerful replacement. The injury not only jeopardizes the Red Sox's current playoff aspirations but also raises long-term concerns about Casas’ career, as recovery from a ruptured patellar tendon is uncertain. The situation underscores the urgency for the Red Sox to act aggressively ahead of the trade deadline to remain competitive in the tight AL East race. Previously, the team showed interest in Mets slugger Pete Alonso, who ultimately re-signed with New York, leaving Boston to explore alternative solutions for first base.
