(Photo by Cole Burston\/Getty Images)Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"CYFWHTR7CFHR3MZZSDD3PO5FPY\">As the Red Sox have explored various ways to overhaul their roster so far this winter, Triston Casas\u2019 name has come up frequently as a potential trade candidate. On Monday, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow ardently claimed that those rumors represented more smoke than fire.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5Q5JJVB7E5ER3GUAYTNOCBDBYY\">Throughout December, reports from The Boston Globe, Seattle Times and MLB.com noted that the Red Sox have been more than willing to listen on Casas in discussions with other clubs. On December 7, the Globe\u2019s Alex Speier wrote that the Sox had offered Casas to at least one team in an attempt to land pitching help. Last week, MLB.com\u2019s Mark Feinsand reported that the Red Sox were willing to entertain a package of Casas and highly paid designated hitter Masataka Yoshida for Mariners starter Luis Castillo before Boston landed Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PWOMSRKL7VC67K2VKXBTNCRBGA\">Now, though, Breslow seems to want it clear to Casas that the Red Sox view him as big piece of their roster in 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DES5YWBBRVEY5PKYLDDGWMSKMA\">\u201cI\u2019m not totally sure where it comes from,\u201d Breslow said. \u201cWe\u2019re not shopping Triston. We see him as a guy that can hit in the middle of the lineup for a really long time here in Boston. Obviously, plus power, plus strike zone judgment, the ability to get on base, and it\u2019s someone that I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve seen the best of. He obviously missed a number of months during the season. We\u2019re really excited for him to be completely healthy. He\u2019s had a full healthy offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PU5RGUVGFFGHJLSZPRLYJWPCNI\">\u201cWhen you have really good young players, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s surprising that other teams would ask about them. But I\u2019ve seen some of the speculation about what what deals may or may not have existed or what may or may not have been proposed. And there was nothing that was remotely close. We\u2019re certainly not shopping him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"WCMLSMGHVVGZ7N7QTJBYPX44WI\">Considering Boston\u2019s widely reported willingness to listen on the soon-to-be 25-year-old Casas, it\u2019s possible Breslow\u2019s claim is true and that the Red Sox were reacting to Casas being brought up by other teams instead of actively mentioning his name first. At this point, his status on Boston\u2019s roster seems more safe than it did a month ago with the heavy lifting in the rotation done via the Crochet trade (in which no one from the MLB roster went to the White Sox) and signing of Buehler.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YBSS4ZDDS5GY3BG4AAHLNCWZHA\">Breslow, who identified right-handed pop and bullpen as the two most pressing areas of need for Boston, also reiterated that the Red Sox planned to keep Rafael Devers at third base barring a drastic change. The club has been linked to free agent Alex Bregman as a potential second base option and St. Louis\u2019 Nolan Arenado, who would almost certainly stay at third if moved.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YDFYCYZVY5BNPKSSO5GGHMQW64\">\u201cRaffy is our third baseman,\u201d Breslow said. \u201cHe\u2019s having a really productive offseason. Saw him a couple of weeks ago. Looks great. Feels great. \u201cWe\u2019re really optimistic about what we\u2019re going to get out of him. He\u2019s talked about coming to Fort Myers early this year and really focusing on getting himself ready to have a great season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"B4EKWZYNCZH6JOWBSK4CJ7BYNE\">\u201cWith that said, we\u2019ll be open-minded and we\u2019ll be creative in terms of how we put together the best roster, but as things stand right now, Raffy is our third baseman.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>BETTING:<\/b><\/i><i> Check out our <\/i>MA sports betting guide<i>, where you can learn basic terminology, definitions and how to read odds for those interested in learning how to bet in Massachusetts.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Red Sox think rotation can reach \u2018elite level;\u2019 might they use six starters?<\/li>\n<li>After rotation adds, Red Sox\u2019 Craig Breslow outlines which moves are next<\/li>\n<li>With Red Sox, Walker Buehler gets complicated contract, unusual jersey number<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox power free agent target goes back to Dodgers for 3 years, $66M<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox wanted to package Triston Casas, high-paid veteran in trade for pitching (report)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
