Triston Casas is ready to make his mark on Major League Baseball.
On Friday, the Boston Red Sox phenom Casas showed off a unique painted nails look. Casas was wearing bright red nail polish on his fingernails and white nail polish on his toenails. The 23-year-old said he will “likely” be wearing his nails like that during the MLB season.
Here is the picture of Casas’ nails, per Red Sox beat writer Julian McWilliams of the Boston Globe.
Casas was also spotted wearing black nail polish at the Red Sox “Winter Weekend” fan event last month.
The first baseman Casas was Boston’s first-round draft pick in 2018 and was MLB’s No. 25-ranked prospect in 2022. While Casas hit just .197 in 27 total appearances for the Red Sox last season, he is expected to get plenty of run in 2023 as the team’s everyday first baseman.
Since Casas will be wearing a glove while fielding and batting gloves while hitting, we might not see his nails on the field very often. But that look is even a step above the painted nails we saw on another young athlete.
Channeling the USCquarterback, but in a nicer, gentler, more feminine way.
Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller) always wears one fingernail painted red. He was asked about it in an interview and said it was his mom’s favorite color and he wears it in memory/honor of her.
“ Is he gay? This may just be a 23-year-old kid doing something silly to show support for his team. Red nails for the Red Sox. People paint their faces and bodies red (or green or other colors) to support their teams all the time.”
*************************************************************
He COULD have painted actual images of red socks on his nails. So I’m voting that he’s an Intention seeking virtue-signaler and/or gay until proven otherwise.
“Intention seeking” should be “attention seeking”.
In before the grammar Nazis pointing out the weird typo/autocorrect.
That’s good to know. Hadn’t noticed. I can cut him a little slack. But I remember Mom well enough without doing something like that.
One of the employees here who is openly gay (complete with pronouns) openly sports both bracelets and nail polish. So I automatically make that association.
I’m with you.

Really funny...well worth a watch!!
Her ‘Bon Qui Qui’ character is really funny too.
Oh, I think he’s a catcher alright. But not the kind you’re thinking of.
Men started wearing nail polish about 3000 BC; for some it declared their class status, for others it was intended to intimidate an enemy. Most female fashion was first done by males.
Thanks. She’s funny!
