Red Sox's Triston Casas Turns Heads With Cryptic Social Media Post

"If we’re gonna have any chance at something decent it’s stuff like this that needs to be addressed," Casas wrote. "I’m going to try to be as transparent as possible… within reason. No delusion, just normalizing the tough conversation."

Casas' post caused quite a commotion, with over 12,000 people liking it within 13 hours of being posted and several reposts on top baseball social media pages going viral. One user wrote on the original post, "Of all the words that have existed these sure are some of them," a comment that earned over 500 likes in the same time frame.

Speculating about what "stuff" Casas is talking about here would be reckless. It has undoubtedly been a turbulent year for the slugger, who hoped to establish himself as a legitimate 40-homer threat, but the message is so vague that he could be referring to any number of issues (or non-issues) playing out behind closed doors.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow was unwilling to commit to Casas as the team's starting first baseman in the Oct. 6 postseason press conference, but said the organization still had high hopes for the young slugger.

"I don't think it makes a ton of sense, on Oct. 6, to say someone is or isn't our first baseman," Breslow said, via NESN. "We'll see how things play out. Unfortunately, Triston has missed a significant amount of time over the last two years, but we've also seen what he's capable of doing when he's healthy."

Whatever transparency Casas intends to institute, the main thing he needs to worry about now is his continued rehab, which has reportedly gone well to this point, while hoping his team gives him the opportunity to earn his job back.
