Triston Casas wants to stay in Boston

He started talking about a long-term contract, but the discussions didn't take on much importance.

In the Red Sox's 123 years, there have only been 13 lifers who played 10+ seasons.

Davis Schneider and his beginnings

He is a normal player with a great story.

Davis Schneider might consider himself “a boring, normal dude,” but he delighted fans with his on-field heroics last year. Now, at his big-league camp, he's on a mission to be a #BlueJays mainstay https://t.co/I5RyAX5C6p

Bo Bichette's mental adjustment

He throws naturally instead of acting like a shortstop.

Bo Bichette told me his most important adjustment has been mental. Previously, he thought he needed to throw like shortstops he'd watched in the past. Now he simply wants to use his natural motion. The result was a 2023 of truer, more accurate throws. @MLBNetwork @BlueJays

Barry Larkin and Troy Tulowitzki still helped him.

I spoke with Bo Bichette yesterday about his improved defense in 2023, and he credited two shortstop mentors: Hall of Famer Barry Larkin and 5-time All-Star Troy Tulowitzki.

Bo said both have worked with him on the physical and mental side of the position.@MLBNetwork @BlueJays
