"Oh, you better believe there are some frustrated Red Sox fans out there tonight. Quickly, the news (then the talk): The Boston Red Sox are reportedly signing infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to a one-year deal tonight. Kiner-Falefa, 30, is a no-offense, good defensive utility infielder, who, as of this moment, appears to be one of the primary answers to which big infielder the Red Sox will add to their roster before the season. Yikes."
"Around this time last winter, the Red Sox had not one, but TWO bona fide third basemen in their organization, Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers, with real concern mounting over how they would accommodate both. Eventually, that consternation grew loud enough to force the Red Sox to trade their young (freshly extended on a mega deal) third baseman, Devers, to the Giants."
Isiah Kiner-Falefa agreed to a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox. Kiner-Falefa, 30, profiles as a strong defensive utility infielder with minimal offensive production. Last winter the organization briefly carried two established third basemen, Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers, before trading Devers to the Giants and failing to re-sign Bregman after he opted out. The team pursued multiple notable infield targets—Bo Bichette, Ketel Marte, Brendan Donovan, Kyle Schwarber, Eugenio Suárez, and others—but signed none of them. Ketel Marte appears likely to remain with Arizona. With spring training imminent, the chance of a major infield trade is rapidly diminishing.
