30-Year-Old CatcherC
Boston Red Sox AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gasper has one of the best mustaches in baseball and he has hit .303/.406/.512 in nearly 500 plate appearances in Triple-A, so he's got that for him, which is nice. That minor league success has not showing up in the majors as the swiss army knife has done little at the plate, or behind it. The Twins used Gasper at four different positions on the field, primarily as their reserve catcher. The switch hitter is an interesting last round or dollar play in AL-Only leagues because of that minor league success but we cannot blame you if you were wholly underwhelmed by what you saw in his 45 games played last season. He does not have the biceps of a Ben Rortvedt, but the statistical arc looks rather similar and the Twins moved on from the latter option quickly. Read Past Outlooks

June 28, 2026
The Red Sox optioned Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
The 30-year-old had received fairly regular playing time between catcher and designated hitter since about mid-May, but his .486 OPS in 17 games this month will result in him being demoted. Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list and will take over Gasper's spot on the 26-man active roster.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gasper is a utility player who can play catcher along with second base and first base. He's not a plus defender behind the plate but his versatility could see him called up from Triple-A at some point this summer. He hit .328/.439/.970 with 12 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A last season for the Red Sox before his offseason trade to the Twins. He could be a late bloomer at age 28 who finds a bench role in the majors.
