"Boston Red Sox Kiner-Falefa is a former Gold Glove winner, but doesn't have a lot of pop at the plate. The Red Sox are reportedly bolstering their infield with a versatile veteran just ahead of spring training. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Red Sox have signed Isiah Kiner-Falefa to a one-year contract - with the former Yankee expected to log reps all across Boston's infield."
"The Red Sox have a need for an infielder at both second and third base - especially after the team lost out on Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette in free agency. Kiner-Falefa, 30, is a plus defender - taking home a Gold Glove during the 2020 season with Texas. But he's more of a wild card at the plate - batting .262 with two home runs and 40 RBI this past season."
Isiah Kiner-Falefa signed a one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox to provide versatile infield depth. He is expected to log reps across shortstop, third base, and second base after appearing in 138 games with the Pirates and Blue Jays in 2025. Kiner-Falefa won a Gold Glove in 2020 and is regarded as a plus defender. Offensively he batted .262 with two home runs and 40 RBI last season, offering limited power. The Red Sox pursued Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette in free agency but missed out, leaving a need for additional offensive pop. Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton, and Nick Sogard remain internal options to split reps.
