The Boston Red Sox’s front office approached breakout star first baseman Triston Casas and his agents\u00a0about a contract extension last year.<\/p>\n

The then-23-year-old posted a 25-homer season in his first full year in the big leagues, and plenty of Sox fans called for an extension for Casas. But his team rejected every offer, and he chose to bet on himself to play even better in 2024.<\/p>\n

The slugger missed four months of action due to a rib cartilage injury, and his plans to post a better season than last year did not come to fruition. Casas shared his thoughts on a potential contract extension on the Sept. 29 edition of Rob Bradford’s “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t have a year this year, I didn’t put up any numbers that would merit an extension like that,” Casas said. “I think if I was a front office representative, I’d need to see more out of myself, for sure, and I’m not expecting any offer that would pique my interest.”<\/p>\n
