Red Sox Prospect Watch: Triston Casas is picking up steam
By Hunter Noll
The Boston Red Sox minor leagues are filled with standout performers in 2019. Triston Casas is breaking out and adding himself to that list.
The Boston Red Sox have still shown some cracks in the armor, but the addition of Michael Chavis has definitely energized the team. It’s also hard to see him not staying with the team. He’s shown an elite bat and solid defense.
A few things will happen due to that. First, Chavis will soon no longer be considered an official “prospect”. This means he’ll be taken off the list (currently the Red Sox top-ranked prospect) and someone else will be added to the top thirty.
The other thing that will happen is other prospects will get a bigger spotlight. Who will be the next player to be called up and help energize the team? Who are the next big stars that fans should be looking forward to?
Right now fans are being treated to Chavis, as well as a bunch of young talent on the Major League roster. That doesn’t mean there aren’t stars-in-the-making in the minors though.
There are plenty of players that have been proving they’re deserving of a bigger spotlight this season.
Triston Casas is the Red Sox number two overall prospect – poised to take the top spot from Chavis once he loses prospect eligibility. For a while, he wasn’t one of those minor leaguers putting up big numbers this season. He’s picking up steam now though – and is proving why he should be considered one of the best prospects in the game.
