We start this episode with Triston Casas talking about Rafael Devers' leadership at third base, agreeing with Devers that he's the guy at the position, and discussing how that dynamic strengthens the team. Triston also opens up about his recovery from injury, his plans to stay healthy, and the quickly rising expectations surrounding the Red Sox this season. He shares his experience facing tough lefties in Spring Training like Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman, how it is helping him grow, and what it's been like to no longer hear his name in trade rumors. Triston dives into his self-critical nature, especially after the Netflix trailer, and gives us an update on whether extension talks with the Red Sox are underway.

The conversation shifts to Red Sox prospects, as Triston gives his thoughts on Khristian Campbell, Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer, and their potential contributions to the future of the team. Plus, the Red Sox are back, and there’s a lot to be excited about.

We also discuss Masataka Yoshida’s underrated offense and what role he’ll play this season. Tom and Lou break down the importance of Jarren Duran to the team and how the Red Sox will shape their outfield this year. With Roman Anthony likely starting in Triple-A, the team’s strategy with young talent is a key topic.

Lastly, Lucas Giolito is ready to return from injury, and we catch up with him for a quick interview to learn how he can bolster the rotation. Plus, Adam Ottavino is back on a minor league deal—what will he bring to the bullpen?

All this and more in this jam-packed episode of 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers and hosted by Tom Caron & Lou Merloni!
