Triston Casas is out for the season with a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee, and the ripple effects could be massive. What does this mean for his future, and who steps in now? Lou suggests Rafael Devers as a potential replacement, but could he actually thrive there? The guys break down why Devers didn’t get offseason reps at the position, how tough that transition really is, and whether his skillset might be a better fit at first than at third. Lou shares his own experience learning the position in 2004, and the show explores other possible options including Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Kristian Campbell. Plus, what’s behind Boston’s .500 record through 36 games? Why is the bullpen struggling despite Aroldis Chapman’s dominance? And what has really been the Sox’s biggest issue so far?

Presented by your New England Ford Dealers, this is 310 To Left, hosted by Alex Speier and Lou Merloni.
