MLB Social Media Reacts To Latest Casas Update
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
@OwBroMedia: “Gotta feel for Triston Casas. He went from seemingly being the first baseman of the future, to injuries taking its toll over the past three seasons, and no clear way back to everyday playing time”
Tyler Milliken: “People will laugh at Triston Casas. They’re the worst people on this app. He’s now had the last 3 years of his career derailed by significant injuries. A guy who lives and breathes baseball to the point he has to be asked to leave when Fenway shuts down at night. Just unfair.”
@CasasGOAT: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
@DeathBruzer: “His nickname should be The Setback. Story of his career so far.”
