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.

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.

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.
