Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 15:46:08 GMT

After a season of adjustments, Triston Casas is a finalist for American League Rookie of the Year.Six Red Sox players have won the award since the league adopted the accolade in 1947: Dustin Pedroia (‘07), Garciaparra (‘97), Fred Lynn (‘75), Carlton Fisk (‘72), Don Schwall (‘61), and Walt Dropo (‘50). Casas is the organization’s first ROY finalist since Andrew Benintendi in 2017.Much like Pedroia’s ROY season, Casas got off to a slow start after making his first Opening Day roster. On June 13, he was hitting .197 with a .683 OPS, having collected 36 hits in his first 59 games of the year. At least publicly, Alex Cora wouldn’t entertain the possibility of sending him back down to Triple-A.Between the following day and season’s end, Casas, hit .312 with a .982 OPS, and 76 hits over his last 72 games. Overall, he finished the year at .263/.367/.490 over 132 games, with 113 hits, 21 doubles, 24 home runs, 66 runs, and 65 RBI. As he began figuring it out, his manager made the Pedroia com...

Six people today, six people tomorrow, six people Wednesday.“Last year, we lost 2,357 residents of Massachusetts,” he continued. “Every one of those people is someone’s child. Maybe someone’s parent.
