Abraham Toro had a season of two halves in Boston. After Triston Casas was injured, Toro took the reins at first base and broke it down… but for the past two months, he's been tearing it up.

As a result, the Red Sox looked elsewhere for reinforcements… and that's when Nathaniel Lowe was acquired.

In the last few days, Toro was designated for assignment to Boston. He was submitted to the waivers, and we learned today that he was not claimed.

This left the veteran with two options: opt out of his contract and become a free agent, or accept a move to AAA and remain with the Red Sox organization.

In the end, Toro opted for the second option.

Still, it's a bit surprising to see Toro opt for this option. After all, we're talking about a guy who's proven he can hold his own in the majors, and more importantly, a guy who can help out just about anywhere.

After all, he's the one who stepped up when Casas was injured, something Rafael Devers didn't want to do.

But in reality, it's good news for Boston. Keeping Toro ensures that the club retains depth at first base, a position that is a real revolving door for the Red Sox. There's a world in which he could regain MLB playing time with the Red Stockings if the club looks for reinforcements between now and the end of the season.

That's how he got his chance in Boston in the first place, after all, and familiarity with the organization could work in his favor.

So we'll see how it all shakes out, but Toro is staying with the Red Sox organization after all. All the better.
