The Boston Red Sox recently had to make a change in the infield. Boston lost first baseman Triston Casas to a serious knee injury and it seems likely at this moment that he's not going to be back this year.

The Boston Red Sox have a problem at first base. Triston Casas is out for the season with a knee injury, and without him, the team is thin at the position. For now, Romy Gonzalez will take over as the starting first baseman.

If Boston is looking for a short-term patch with upside and familiarity, Smith would be a logical trade candidate. And the Yankees, loaded with first base options at the big-league level, may be willing to make a move if it helps them somewhere else on the roster.
