2020 Bowman Breaks

Things have seemed slow with card releases this year.  I was surprised one day when I was in the local Walmart and finally saw a new release: 2020 Bowman.  There were only two of the four-pack jumbo packs left, looks like it was picked over quickly, so I grabbed them both.  Here are my Red Sox pulls:

1.  Triston Casas.  This is the retail-only camo parallel.  Casas is Boston's top prospect and has some huge power potential.  He was the team's first-round pick in 2018 out of high school and made it to High-A last year after hitting .254/.349/.472 with 19 home runs and 78 RBIs in A-level Greenville.  If he keeps hitting like that, he could be in the Majors in the next couple of years.

2.  Mookie Betts.  Boston has just two cards in the base set, and of course one of them is the now former Red Sox Mookie Betts.  That means we know Alex Verdugo will not be appearing in Bowman yet, nor will the prospects acquired in the deal, Jeter Downs and Connor Wong.
