The Boston Red Sox reportedly considered trading Triston Casas this offseason — and he knows about it.

When talking to NESN Thursday, the 25-year-old first baseman was asked about hearing his name come up in trade rumors this past offseason.

Casas, who hasn’t been shy about speaking his mind during spring training, had a pretty chill response.

“I don’t fault anybody for throwing my name out there or trying to bolster this roster in any way, shape and form,” he said.

Casas said that he understands that the front office’s job is to try and improve the team, and that, “winning is expected here by any means necessary.”

The Red Sox reportedly offered up Casas in their attempts to pry away one of the Seattle Mariners’ top young starting pitchers.

Boston had already made a big splash by trading for Garrett Crochet and were looking for another top arm. The Red Sox eventually found one when they signed Walker Buehler to a one-year deal.

For now, it looks like the trade talks are over. Casas is back in camp, healthy and appears to be in Boston for the foreseeable future. He sounds relieved.

“Yeah, I’m glad it’s over,” Casas said. “I’ve called this home for a really long time. Now, hopefully, for a longer time to come.”
