Triston Casas’ knee surgery left the Boston Red Sox searching for a first baseman, and while there was talk of Rafael Devers shifting positions, newcomer Romy González is making a strong case for the job. The 28-year-old, acquired from the Chicago White Sox, had a solid campaign last season, particularly against lefties, and has started 2024 strong with a .327 batting average and an .831 OPS through 49 at-bats. His versatility and speed add depth to the lineup, as he demonstrates potential beyond a bench role.
