Football season is officially over<\/a>, and Tuesday marked the first day of spring training for the Boston Red Sox down in Fort Myers, Florida.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox have lots of new faces in camp this year after their busy offseason, including Sonny Gray, Willson Contreras, Ranger Suarez and others.<\/p>\n

There was also a mystery player who arrived at camp on Tuesday. With his face covered by sunglasses and a red ski mask, he resembled Spider-Man.<\/p>\n

According to WEEI\u2019s Rob Bradford, the masked man<\/a> was none other than Triston Casas.<\/p>\n

Casas has drawn plenty of attention for stunts like these<\/a> since debuting with Boston in 2022, standing out with his sunbathing on the field, painted fingernails, social media presence<\/a> and honest quotes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old first baseman is entering his fifth season with Boston. However, he\u2019s missed most of the last two seasons with injuries, playing just 91 games combined<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also coming off the worst offensive season of his career after slumping to a .580 OPS and -0.9 WAR last year. While he\u2019s hoping to bounce back<\/a> in 2026, he\u2019s considered a question mark heading into this season given his checkered injury history and may lose some playing time to Contreras.<\/p>\n

Time will tell if he\u2019s able to rediscover his swing and return to form this season. But for now, he already has Red Sox fans talking about him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Football season is officially over, and Tuesday marked the first day of spring training for the Boston Red…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2375],"tags":[5,141,48,2542,4,89,58579,2543,1946,409],"class_list":{"0":"post-564912","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-red-sox","11":"tag-bostonredsox","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-red-sox","14":"tag-red-sox-spring-training","15":"tag-redsox","16":"tag-triston-casas","17":"tag-willson-contreras"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116048588337940270","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
