Triston Casas, a 23-year-old first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, made his MLB debut with the Red Sox on September 4, 2022. He was regarded as one of the team's top prospects as Boston sought to win their tenth World Series championship.
Casas was born in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on Jan. 15, 2000 to Christine and Jose Casas, who were married for 11 years. Jose is Cuban, while Christine is from the Bronx in New York.
Jose, who earned a degree in business and finance from Florida International University, is the president of C & A Trucking. Christine had two children but passed away unfortunately on July 4, 2009, before she could witness her son's rise to baseball stardom.
